Is there a way to store label format (as ZPL file) into printer's memory and recall it to print labels? I possible to set some "parametric" fields? For example I need to print a label with a standard layout (stored in printer's memory) but with some custom data for each label.
Thank you

I would recommend reading through the ZPL programming manual. The methods you will be using are ^XA (Start Format), ^DF (Download Format), ^XF (Recall Format), and ^FN (Field Number).
You may need more, I have never used ZPL myself only EPL. But that should get you started.

I already found that document, but I did not read all commands. Thank you. Is there some reasons to choose EPL instead of ZPL? – Tobia – 2013-05-09T06:39:53.863
EPL is the older language. I just have never worked with the newer printers that support ZPL. – Scott Chamberlain – 2013-05-09T12:49:17.813
