Features at a Glance
Convert ZPL to Images & Docs
Use ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK to easily convert ZPL commands to PNG, JPG, PDF, PCX, Zebra GRF ASCII hex, Zebra EPL Binary Graphic, Honeywell-Intermec FingerPrint Binary Graphic & EPSON ESC/POS NV Binary Graphic formats by writing simple C# or VB.NET code.
Preview ZPL Commands
Need to test ZPL commands and don't have a real Zebra printer device? No problem! Use ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK to preview ZPL commands without wasting any single label!
High Accuracy ZPL Render
ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK renders ZPL commands generating high quality output by reproducing built-in and resident ZPL fonts for texts and barcodes with high accuracy.
Virtual ZPL Printer
ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK works like a Virtual ZPL Printer device. You setup the virtual printer with basic settings like the DPI resolution and default Label Size to finally pass to it the ZPL commands to be processed.
ZPL Parsing & Processing
ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK can parse ZPL commands from a .NET string, .NET Stream or physical file. It can detect UTF-8 encoding automatically. Most of the ZPL Formatting and Control Commands are supported.
International Text Support
ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK can render ZPL commands for international text including Latin, EMEA, Asian and RTL languages like German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Polish, Cyrillic, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, and more.
Barcode Symbologies Support
ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK can generate most of the linear (1D), postal, composite, stacked and 2D barcodes shipped with real Zebra printer devices.
Colored Label Simulation
ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK can be configured to convert ZPL to PNG, JPG & PDF formats simulating a color ribbon (for label items) and a background color label. Black & White 1bpp is also supported through PCX format.
Custom ZPL Output Rotation
Besides ZPL rotation command, ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK can be configured to rotate ZPL outputs to 90, 180 & 270 clockwise degrees.
Custom Background Image
ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK allows you to render ZPL commands on a specified Background Image (in PNG or JPG formats) which can be set from a system file path, URL, Base64 string or a binary buffer (Byte Array).
Custom Watermark Stamp
You can specify to the ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK a custom watermark or stamp image to be rendered on top of the label output!
Virtual Printer Storage
ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK allows you to manage from code the virtual printer storage where custom fonts and graphics can be easily added, edited, updated and removed.
Real-Time Clock Support
ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK supports Real-time Clock settings throguh the related ZPL commands or by exposing them through the RTC properties.
