Options for Zebra Devices

If the Family selected is Family Driver and the Model selected is ZPL II Zebra Programming Language II, a printer control language., then the Options tab displays the following options. Some options may not be relevant to some device models.

If the Family selected is Zebra and a specific model is selected, then only options appropriate to that model are displayed. For more information about drivers and Loftware Enterprise™ SP, see Managing Devices.

Note: It is recommended that Zebra ZPL II devices use x.17 or later firmware. For Zebra font commands, x.14 or later firmware is required. Loftware Enterprise SP supports Zebra ZPL II devices with x.10 or later firmware.

Option	Description	Values
Device Resolution	The resolution capability of the device in Dots Per Inch (dpi). Note: For thermal printers, setting the resolution to something other than what is reported by the device may result in unexpected behavior.	203 (Default) 300 600
Send Label Top	Whether to send the value for Label Top to the device.	: Not sent to device : Sent to device(Default)
Label Top	The distance to vertically shift the entire label template from its current position. Reducing the value moves the print area upward relative to the top of the media. Increasing the value moves the print area downward relative to the media. Note: This option is active only if Send Label Top is selected.	-120 to 120 dots
Print Mode	The action the device takes after a label or group of labels has been printed.	Applicator: After printing, the label may be mechanically removed and applied to an object. Cutter: The web separating the printed label and the next blank label to be printed is extended into the cutter mechanism. The label is cut; the blank label is then retracted into the device so that it can be printed. Peel-off: After printing, the label is partially separated from the backing. Printing stops until the label is completely removed. Peel off handling requires that the stock in the device be properly fed through the peel off attachment on the device. Select only if device is equipped with an internal rewind spindle. Rewind: Label and backing are rewound on an optional internal rewind device. The next label is positioned under the print head. Tear-off: After printing, the label is advanced so that the web is over the tear bar. The label, with backing attached, can then be torn off manually. Do Not Send Option: No value for this option is sent to the device. Select this value if you want to configure the option at your device.
Pause/Cut Interval	Number of printed labels between cuts. If the cutter is enabled, and the cut interval is set to 0, then the device cuts the label after the batch.	0 to 9999 printed labels Default: 0
Tear-off	Distance to adjust the rest point of the media after a label is printed, which changes the position at which the label can be torn off or cut. By default, the Tear-off setting is sent to the device.	-120 to 120 dots
Backfeed	Backfeed (retract) behavior of the device before or after a label is printed.	After Print: Causes the device to backfeed (retract) between each label that is printed. Before Print: Causes the device to backfeed (retract) before each label that is printed. Default: Backfeed default behavior for the selected Print Mode. Suppress: Causes the device to suppress the backfeeding or retracting action before print and after print. Suppress Except Last Label: Causes the device to suppress the backfeeding or retracting action before print and after print, except before or after the last label has printed. Do Not Send Option: No value for this option is sent to the device. Select this value if you want to configure the option at your device.
Override Pause Count	Whether to override the Paused Count setting, which is controlled by the Pause/Cut Interval option.	: Do not override the Paused Count. (Default) : Override the Paused Count.
Text Box Overrun Mode	How Loftware Enterprise SP should respond if the amount of data received for a Text Box field is more than can fit. Tip: If the Text Box Overrun Mode is specified in the job data, that overrides any mode specified in Label Specific Options in Label Design , device options in Devices , or system preferences in System . Otherwise, if specified in Label Specific Options, that overrides device options and system preferences, and if specified in device options, that overrides system preferences.	Allow Overrun: The text continues beyond the bottom of the envelope for the field. For a printed label, as much of the text as can fit on the label is printed. Truncate Data: Text that does not fit is not printed or displayed. The preceding text is printed or displayed. Truncate Data at Paragraph Break: A paragraph that does not fit is not printed or displayed. The preceding paragraph is printed or displayed. Fail Print Job on Overrun: Any print job that includes a Text Box field in which the data received does not fit is failed and is not printed or displayed. Use Global Setting: The value for Text Box Overrun Mode that is set in System is used. (Default)
