Conversion between EPL and ZPL


Is it possible to convert EPL and ZPL (thermal printer languages) to common format (it could be vector grapic file like SVG)?

It will be great if I could convert from commont format to ZPL or EPL.


Solution

  • If you do any amount of work with Zebra thermal printers, get a design tool. The FREE ZebraDesigner2 software will do. This way you can export your printer based on whatever printer driver you have selected (EPL/ZPL/CPCL). If you need to export code for non-Zebra printers (Sato, Datamax, Intermec) look at NiceLabel

    Once you have ZebraDesigner installed and driver selected, create a new port mapped to a location on your hard drive with write privileges. Then print the label and the driver will create a txt file with the printer code.

    Use the printer code in your application as needed.
