Fonts in Zebra Printer

Former Member — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 16:31:02 GMT

Hi all,

I am using Z4MPlus model Zebra printer. I am able to print barcodes from smartforms. But I need to print text also. I am able to print that too. But the output font size is too small. When I print the text with font size 20.00 pt(Helvetica), It is printing too small. If anybody knows that pls help me.

Thanks in advance,

Sudha

Hi Sudha,

If you are using Zebra printer then you must be designing the label using BARONE software. The control to increase the font size of the text will be there . Try to increase the point size and the increase of size will be reflected in the output . Let me know if the problem is solved or not .

<b>Also try to use CG Triumvirate Bold condensed format.</b>

Regaards,

Hai Sudha

Check the following

You dont need a Zebra bar one tool for printing graphics from smartforms. You need to have propers

drivers and proper settings in place. Take a look at the OSS notes 750772 - Information on the ZPL-II

printer driver for SmartForms

Check the point 5 in the above oss notes:

5) Support of bitmap graphics

Colored bitmap graphics from SmartForms are changed to black and white when you print

from the LZPL printer driver. If the picture quality is affected by this conversion,

change the graphic to B/W with a graphics program (such as PaintShop Pro), and import

it to SmartForms as as a black and white graphic. Monochrome graphics are not converted

by the driver. However, all graphics may be justified to adjust the size of the graphic

to the printer resolution (203, 300 or 600 dpi).

During the import to SmartForms, you have the option to flag a bitmap as "resident".

In this case, the LZPL printer driver saves the graphic in the RAM of the printer when

it first occurs (Device "R:" of the zebra printer). At the end of the spool request,

the driver deletes the graphic again from the printer's RAM, so that no more memory

remains occupied.

Resident graphics during label printing from SmartForms are therefore only faster

if more than one label is printed within a spool request, and the resident graphic

is repeated on each label.

Hi Sreeni,

We have LZPL driver only. I already saw that note. I need to print the text in label.

Thanks.
