Web Interface to interact with Label Matrix

Question

I am in the process of creating a system that can print labels. The designs have been created in Label Matrix, but I need the ZPL (Zebra Programming Language). Does anyone know if I can go from Label Matrix to ZPL?

Thank you very much

Answer 1

You can add a new ZebraDesigner ZPL driver to the system and use a file as the port. Then when you "Print" the document, it will write the ZPL code to the file.

Note that it might have some header information before the first ^XA which you might not need.

Also, how to add a local port for a driver:

1. Go to Printer Properties
2. Click on the Ports tab
3. Click Add Port
4. Select Local Port and click New port
5. Enter a filename e.g. C:\output.zpl
6. Make sure it is checked in the ports list
7. Now all printing output should go to C:\output.zpl

Alternatively, can just click Print, tick "Print to file" checkbox, output to a *.prn file, open that file with Notepad and the code is there.
