The zpl manual and software can be found on Zebra’s website, but you have to do a little bit of digging to get it. You can do this manually by writing zpl into a text document or you can use the zebra designer software. Obviously, your first step is to generate the template file. ![]() I’m not going to give you a class on writing ZPL but I will show you how you can generate a simple ZPL command file using the free ZebaDesigner label package from Zebra and then set that label up as a template that you can then use from code and get high performance printing from that template. But, if you are printing many labels and need the high speed printing that those label printers can provide, then you’re going to have to use ZPL. If you just want to print a label here and there and don’t mind this slow technique, then have at it. ![]() ![]() Why is this not the best way to print a barcode label? Well, because when you print from SSRS (whether from code or from the report itself) an image is generated of the print job and then sent to the printer as an image. Not only is this a very inefficient way of printing barcode labels to a zebra printer but you also normally need to purchase a barcode font package for this purpose as well. I’ve seen a lot of people setup a report in SSRS to print a barcode label to a Zebra printer.
