Prep Store Object Area in Printer
If your printer has had prior use, there maybe stored objects in your development printer.
Use the printer Tools>>Printer Configuration fly-out menu at the top of the ZDesiger
window to access memory management tools for Stored Formats, Graphics and
Downloaded Fonts. Delete all un-needed objects to maximize available printer memory.
Receipt Layout Settings and Features
Zebra Designer includes features to assist you in your design effort.
• Object Size and Placement: Rulers, Units of Measure (toggle top left corner of
rulers to change measure), Grid, Snap to Grid, X:Y cursor tracking (bottom bar
below layout) are all available to help you position objects.
• Object Type: Zebra Designer uses a printer symbol to show if an object is a
printer resident feature accessed by ZPL programming.
• The printer resident icon will display in the object’s lower right corner if the
object is larger than the icon. Lines are printer objects and typically do not
display this icon because they are too narrow to display the icon.
• Object Properties: By selecting objects and then Right Clicking an object’s
properties, settings can be accessed and adjusted.
• Line and the Inverse (reverse video) do not have right-click accessible object
properties.
• Rectangle and Ellipse properties include an option to convert them to raw
B/W bitmap graphics. This is not recommended.
• Object Warning Feature: Objects that extend outside of the receipt’s printable
area will turn red or if it is a logo graphic, it will have a red outline as a warning.
Objects outside of this printable area may not print or print incorrectly. To see an
example of this, open the Zebra Designer Sample receipt (label). The line below
the word ‘Sample’ extends off of the right side of the printable area when using the
KR403 kiosk printer.
• Object Alignment and Rotation (Design Toolbar): You can apply rotation to
objects in 90 degree increments or align to other objects.
• Font Objects: The printer supports TrueType and Zebra printer resident fonts.
The Text toolbar controls the display of fonts in the Fonts select one or the other,
or both. The Text toolbar controls the display of fonts available for selection and
use.
