Text Editors
Many word processors or text editors are capable of creating ASCII files that can be used
to create ZPL printer programming files. However, for other encodings such as Unicode, a
robust editor to mix the ASCII and raw data needed to support multiple character encoding
methods.
A useful tool to find and insert individual characters or glyphs into text is the Character
Map tool. In the Advanced display mode, the Character Map displays the characters
name, keyboard input method encoding, Unicode encoding and hexadecimal code.
ZPL Program Files
ZPL printer command files should not be combined with any of the other programming
languages that the printer is capable of recognizing and processing.
Important • These are important points to note when using ZPL and SGD commands:
• ZPL and SGD commands should be sent to the printer as separate files.
• Certain settings can be controlled by both ZPL and SGD. Configuration changes
made in ZPL can affect configuration changes made in SGD.
