For printing on ZEBRA printer we recommend the following basic settings:
Thermal printer language: ZPL
Labels printer type: Zebra
Protocols printer type: Laser
Labels printing DPI: 203
Choose from the following label formats – either A4 (4 labels per page) or A6 labels (1 label per page). All other settings are optional and can be modified as necessary.
NOTE: If your labels are printed on A4 papers:
A4 paper print start position: by default, labels are printed in the order of 1 to 4. You can change the starting position here
Remember last A4 paper print position: this option is good if you want to re-use label paper. Ex: If your last label was printed on position 3, then the next one will be printed on position 4.
Paper size for labels printing: Select A4 if you wish to print your labels with a regular printer.
NOTE: If your labels are printed on A6 papers:
A4 paper print start position: ignore this field. It’s irrelevant for A6 printing.
Remember last A4 paper print position: ignore this field. It’s irrelevant for A6 printing.
Paper size for labels printing: Select A6 to print on A6 labels.
