ZPL Basics

The ZPL Command

10/29/2010 Software Integrator Guide P1026208-001 Rev. B

Format (^- Caret) Command

Format commands form a template of a receipt (or label). These commands provide

instructions to define the receipt (or label’s) layout and handling.

• Physical properties: length, width, media type, etc.

• Object placement: origin, orientation, reference point etc.

• Type of object: simple graphic, logo graphic, text, and bar code,

• Text and data: font selection, locale, character sets, variables, data encoding etc.

• Prints the format (

^XZ and adding ^PQ to print multiple copies)

• Manage memory

• Code commenting (

^FX)

• Recall stored graphics (

^XG) or other stored formats (^XF)

The basic properties of format commands are:

• Format commands are always preceded by the caret (

^) character.

• Format commands are intended to be run within formats (forms), between the

Start Format (

^XA) and the End Format (^XZ). The ^FX (Comment) is the

exception to this rule. It can be used outside of a format (form).

• All format commands are processed in the order received.

• Most format instructions are, for the most part, “order-independent.” For example,

instructions to print text at the bottom of a label can come before the instruction to

print a bar code at the top of the same label.

Control (~ - Tilde) Commands

Control commands have an immediate effect on printer operation. They are used to get

printer status, error reporting, printer file management, fine-tune printer operation

(darkness, positioning media, etc.), and cancel, clear or reset printer or printer operations.

Control commands can be used within formats (forms). When used within a format (form),

the control command is used to process data (e.g. graphic or font import)
