| − | To get the correct label information on the label, a method of field substitution is used. The software searches for field codes in the label format that begin and end with “$$”.

| |
| − | Here is the PRNFMT.ZFT file:<br /><syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | ^XA
| |
| − | ^LH10,10
| |
| − | ^FWN,0
| |

| − | ^FO20,135^AF^FD$$XLAB3$$^FS

| |
| − | ^FO20,255^AF^FD$$XLAB7$$^FS
| |
| − | ^XZ
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | | |
| − | *^XA and ^XZ start and end the format
| |
| − | *^LH positions the start of the label
| |
| − | *^FWN,0 Sets the rotation and left justifies all text fields
| |
| − | *^FOn,n positions a text field
| |
| − | *^Ax Selects a font
| |
| − | *^FD defines the data string for the field – can be straight text or a $$ field substitution
| |
| − | *^FS denotes the end of the field definition
| |
| − | | |
| − | = Barcodes =
| |
| − | Use the ^BCN ZPL code for barcodes:<syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | ^FO220, 0^BCN,60,Y,N,N^FD$$WELDER$$^FS
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>This above example prints a 6mm tall barcode at 22,0 containing the welder barcode
| |
| − | | |
| − | =Testing Tip=
| |
| − | Testing the format can be a very time consuming task, as the software needs to be fully restarted and then the batch reloaded each time a change is made.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Changes are normally tiny positional changes of field position and size and take several iterations
| |
| − | | |
| − | Luckily, there is an [http://labelary.com/viewer.html online ZPL translator / viewer] that is ideal for checking your format changes before committing to the machine.{{#annotatedImageLight:Fichier:Labelary Screenshot.png|0=600px|hash=|jsondata=|mediaClass=Image|type=frameless|align=center|src=https://stuga.dokit.app/images/6/67/Labelary_Screenshot.png|href=./Fichier:Labelary Screenshot.png|resource=./Fichier:Labelary Screenshot.png|caption=|size=600px}}
