 ===== ZPL =====
+It is possible to make newlines for every new command. Some tutorials tend to stack several related, but different, commands on the same line.
+<code zpl>
+^XA
+^FX The FX command starts a comment that ends at the next tilde
+or caret, but should be correctly terminated with a field separator command/symbol ^FS
+^FX Print a box, 80 by 80 points (1cm) ^FS
+^FO16,8^GB80,80,5^FS
+^XZ
+</code>
+==== 38 x 13 mm Labels ====
+Seems to be offset even though I specify dimensions. This ZPL places a box in the upper left corner and puts a text on the label
+<code zpl>
+^XA
+^FO16,8^GB80,80,5^FS
+^FO100,30^A0,40^FDWorks!^FS
+^XZ
+</code>
+Apparently, the width is set to 330 points by the PC software, can be read by following commands
+<code zpl>
+^XA
+^HH
+^XZ
+</code>
+And can be updated with
+<code zpl>
+^XA
+^PW304
+^XZ
+</code>
+But to avoid conflict with the PC software it's probably better to move the Label Home, and then return it.
+<code zpl>
+^XA
+^LH16,8
+^FO0,0^GB80,80,5^FS
+^FO100,30^A0,40^FDWorks!^FS
+^LH0,0
+^XZ
