KPL to ZPL Command

Cross-Reference

Overview

The ZPL and KPL programming languages have different print processing methods. This

section provides a rough equivalence of KPL to ZPL kiosk printer commands to aid in

conversion of existing receipt code to the other programming language.

ZPL is a Page mode printing process. KPL is a Line mode printing process. Both

programming languages emulate some of the features inherent to the other printer’s

fundamental print processing methodology.

ZPL processes a complete page (builds an image in memory) and then issues a single

print command in the most basic processes. ZPL emulates the Line mode printing with the

Continuous-Variable mode (default). The receipt size grows in length for text block

(paragraphs) fields that exceed the beyond the bottom of the initial format (form) size.

Placing other objects (text, bar codes, and graphics) will also extend the format (form)

length. The length can be extended until there is no more RAM available or the maximum

image map length (

^ML) has been reached.

KPL processes each object (text, image or bar code) as it receives, much like EscPOS

printers. Text is treated as if you were typing in a basic word processor. KPL emulates

Page mode processing with a batch mode command processing.
