ZPL how to print the current date and time on the label after peeling off?

How to print the current date and time on the label after peeling off ?

For example:

Print the 1st Label: 2019-10-28 18:58:01

Wait 5 second and peel off label.

The second label must be 2019-10-28 18:58:06

Currently I have this:

^FC%,{,#^FD%Y-%m-%Y%H%M%S^FS

The date and time are still the same 2019-10-28 18:58:01 on each label.

Thanks

Solution

  • I am assuming you are printing a batch of labels with ^PQ setting the print quantity. You need to add the following near the top of your label format, before any ^FO or ^FT commands:

    ^SLT

    The command changes the RTC mode to "Time Now Mode".
