Download custom font with ZPL

I'm trying to download custom font .TTF to the Zebra printer by using ZPL commands. There is a ZPL command ~DY which can download fonts to the printer. This command has the following parameters ~DYd:f,b,x,t,w,data

  • d- file location Accepted Values: R:, E:,B:,A:
  • f - file name
  • b - format downloaded Accepted Values:B (.TTF)
  • x - extension of file Accepted Values:T (TTF)
  • t - number of bytes in file Accepted Values:.TTF
  • w - number of bytes per row Accepted Values:.TTF
  • data - ASCII or ZB64 - Accepted Values:A,P or binary - Accepted Values:B,C

but I can't find any detailed information about file location parameter. What does this all parameters R:,E:,B:,A: mean? Could someone explain this zpl command and show some examplehow to use it?

Solution

  • The R E B A are the file locations just like C: D: are on a computer. If im right E: is the Flash and R: is the DRAM. Either one will put it in the right folder for you. you can then just call the font from its location "E:Font"

    Hope this helps
