Zebra Label Printer

My printer

• Labelary – Online ZPL preview tool, also has good documentation and information regarding the ZPL
• Zebra Programming Guide – Official guide

It is possible to make newlines for every new command. Some tutorials tend to stack several related, but different, commands on the same line.

^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

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

^XA
 
^FO16,8^GB80,80,5^FS
^FO100,30^A0,40^FDWorks!^FS
 
^XZ

Apparently, the width is set to 330 points by the PC software, can be read by following commands

^XA
^HH
^XZ

And can be updated with

^XA
^PW304
^XZ

But to avoid conflict with the PC software it's probably better to move the Label Home, and then return it.
