Anyonehad/solved any problems printing from Streamserve to a Zebra Label printer, I have installed all of the drivers, changed the Arg file and even added it as a separate connector but I still cannot get the output to translate to the printer? Would value any comments. Regards Si

You must have those files in your drivers folder (D:MVXOUTDrivers).

zpl2.drs

List of options and choices. Keep as is.

zpl2wfnt.map

Maps Windows font names to Zebra fonts. Can be modified if wanted. (Default available fonts are Arial and Times new roman).

zpl2.fnc

Contains scripting functions that initialize bar code alias font variables. Keep as is.

It is important when setting the width of the barcodes, that you work backwards from the printer. ZPL printers are typically 203.2 dpi. For example, if you want the narrowest bar to be 3 dots, then the width in the barcode rule action should be set to 10.63 ( ( 3 / 203.2 ) * 720 ). That way what you see in the viewer will match what is printed. The same goes for fonts. For example, if you are using ZPL Font F and you want it to be printed at 1 times magnification, then the pitch should be set 12.7 ( printer resolution / the character width, or 203.2 / 16). The characters widths for the ZPL fonts can be found in their manual or FontSpecs.xml. You need to include the inter-character gap.
