Language or using a printer driver.

KPL Control

Language
When operating in this mode, you have direct control over what the printer does using
KPL command sequences. The printer has two operation modes you can choose from.
In variable page mode, the printer can act as a simple word processor, printing text that it
receives. It can also print some types of barcodes and basic graphics in this mode. The
selection of fonts and barcode types that are available are limited to what is stored in the
flash PROM and the firmware of the printer. In this mode, information is printed in the
same sequence as it is received.
In fixed page mode, you can place rotated text, barcodes, images, and ruled lines. This
mode provides more flexibility than variable page mode, but is limited by available
printer memory. Printout elements can be specified in any order. You instruct the printer
when your layout is complete, and it is all printed at once.
Selection of the mode is controlled by the setting of parameter n36. (Refer to

Use the Zebra Toolbox (available from zebra.com) to easily build text oriented designs.
Printer Driver
All TTP 2000 printers can print documents through a driver. When a Windows driver is
used, you can use any Windows program to design the ticket with text, graphics, bar
codes or whatever you want to print and in any orientation. When using a driver, printout
is not limited by printer memory.
The Windows driver issues all the necessary commands. By setting up printing
preferences in the driver you select how the printer should cut and present the printout.
