Chapter 2 Operation
Operating Your Zebra XiII-Series Printer
Now that your printer is ready for operation, how does it work? The Zebra
XiII-Series printer is designed to receive instructions from a host computer,
such as an IBM-compatible PC. To create a label, you will either need to
write a format in ZPL II , which is a programming language for creating
label formats, or you will need to use a software program designed to for-
mat labels for the Zebra XiII-Series printer. If you are using label design
software, refer to the instructions provided with your software package to
determine how to do this.
If you are using, or plan to use, ZPL II
programming language to format
your labels, make sure you have a copy of the ZPL II Programming Guide.
Refer to the mail/fax-in card at the front of this book to obtain a copy. For
some sample ZPL II
label formats, refer to page 51.
