• TrueType fonts have a blue 'TT' symbol text (like most Windows programs).
• Printer resident fonts have a red 'T' with a printer as a symbol. Text objects in
the receipt layout using printer resident fonts have the 'Printer Resident' icon
and have the word 'Zebra' proceeding the font letter, number or name.
• By default, the kiosk printer has several resident san serif bitmap fonts and
one scalable font (Font 0 - 'zero') that the printer rasterizes on-the-fly.
Swiss 721 TrueType Latin-1 font for “Western European” languages is also
pre-loaded.
• Image Area: The image area is a marked by a red outline box of the ZDesigner
receipt print area minus the top, bottom, left and right margins. In some instances,
ZDesigner may interact with objects that extend outside of the image area to print
within the image area.
Add Logo Graphics
Zebra Designer has a robust graphic import tool. The tool is designed to import several
common color, greyscale, and B/W (black and white) bitmap formats, as well as, two
Windows vector graphic formats (.WMF and .EMF). The original image that you will be
importing will be re-imaged to a 203 dpi B/W bitmap graphic.
For best import results, the image should be at least 2 times the size (406 dpi) or greater
to get the best results or use one the scalable vector formats.
You may have to try several times to achieve the desired results. If the quality is not
acceptable, then the graphic may need to be reproduced or edited with a bitmap editor
such as, Windows Paint accessory, Adobe Photoshop, Corel’s Photo-Paint, etc., or a
vector graphics editor such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. The logo graphic should be
exported as a 203 dpi B/W bitmap graphic in one of the printer’s supported graphics
formats. "ZPL Kiosk Printer Supported Black and White (B/W) Graphics Formats"
on page 19.
