After you have selected a transponder type and set your printer appropriately, use the ZPL 
samples in this section as a base for programming your own RFID label formats. For specific 
information about individual ZPL commands, see 

Set up the printer, and turn the power On (I).

Using any word processor or text editor that is capable of creating ASCII-only files (for 
example, use Microsoft

 Word and save as a .txt file), type in the label format exactly as 

shown in the desired sample.

Save the file to your computer. 

When naming the file, use 

.zpl

 as the extension for the file (for example, you may 

choose to name a file 

format1.zpl

).

Copy the file to the printer.

If you are connected to the printer via the parallel port, from the DOS command window, 
use the “COPY” command to send a file to the printer. For example, if your file name is 
format1.zpl, type 

COPY FORMAT1.ZPL XXXX

where 

 is the port to which your printer is connected (such as LPT1).

Compare your label results with those shown in the sample. If your printout does not look 
like the one shown, confirm that the file you created is identical to the format shown, then 
repeat the printing procedure.

Check the RFID data on your label.

Open the printhead, and place the label above the reader in the printer. 

Use the front panel to view the transponder data (see 

). 

Compare your RFID data with that shown in the sample. If your front panel display 
does not look like what is shown, confirm that the file you created is identical to the 
format shown, then repeat the printing procedure.

If nothing prints, make sure that your system is set up correctly by referring to the 
following:
