QL Series User Guide
Setting Up the Software
QL Series printers use Zebra’s CPCL Programming language
which was designed for mobile printing applications. CPCL is
fully described in the ”CPCL Programmers Manual”, available
on-line from Zebra’s Web site at:
http://www.zebra.com/manuals
You can also use Label Vista™, Zebra’s Windows
®
based la-
bel creation program which uses a graphical interface to cre-
ate and edit labels in the CPCL language. Label Vista is
available on-line from Zebra’s Web site at:
http://www.zebra.com/SD/product_LabelVista.htm
QL Series printers with an optional memory upgrade can
support an interpreter for ZPL II
®
, or EPL programming lan-
guages. QL Plus Series printers have these interpreters load-
ed as a standard part of their operating system.
If you plan to use ZPL II or EPL, refer to the appropriate Pro-
gramming Guides available on-line from Zebra’s Web site. If
you choose to use a third party label preparation system, fol-
low the installation instructions included in the package.
