RE: Configurations for using ZPL instructions in printer files??

Not sure why your printer file won't compile without more details, but the
way we print barcode labels on Zebras is to use a printer file with one
field which is 132 characters and then populate that field with the ZPL by
reading a physical file with the ZPL already coded and inserting the dynamic
data into the ZPL using RPG before writing to the spooled file.

Subject: Configurations for using ZPL instructions in printer files??


Hi

I need some help in including  the ZPL language in an AS400 printer file.
We are planning to use a Zebra printer for printing bar codes.  However
when i compile my printer file which contains the ZPL language it does not
compile. Do we have any specific properties which need to be changed when
compiling the printer file?

We have already created an outque for the printer with the following
properties.
                 Work with Output Queue Description

Queue:   ZBR1_PRINT     Library:   QUSRSYS

Remote printer queue . . . . . . . . . :   portLF1

Image configuration  . . . . . . . . . :   *NONE

Please let me know.
Awaiting your reply

thanks.
