Re: ZPL And Fedex Carton Labels

I would try to merge images into a single page using iText in Java
and then send the pdf to the printer using ftp, lpr or an RPG program that
write to a *USRASCII printer file (If the printer supports direct pdf
printing...)

I can generate a PDF from ZPL. So how can I print 2 or 3 PDF's combined
on
one 8 x 14 paper size?

I'm trying to use AFPRSC to get one PDF to print but I'm priinting on my
laser printer with blanks. Does anyone have a simple example that prints
a
PDF that is in /tmp or a similar IFS directory?

Trying to figure out if I need IBM AFP Utilities.

Thanks

Have you asked Fed-Ex if they can send back something besides ZPL?

When you Fedex servers to rate and ship your cartons, Fedex returns

raw

ZPL

(Zebra programming language) that we then send to Zebra type label
printers.

This works fine when we want to print the label alone. We are trying

to

create a form that can print on a laser printer that includes the

fedex

label and other information. So I need to take the ZPL and print

along

with other information.

Has anyone successfully interpreted the ZPL and printed labels on

other

printers, or use some process to take the ZPL and create a PDF that

can

be

used as a page segment?

Our 8 x 14 laser printed page would have 3 sections......
