Exercise 4: Enter Data for a Stored File with a USB Keyboard and Print a Label

The Print Station feature allows you to use a USB Human Interface Device (HID), such as a keyboard or a barcode scanner, to enter
^FN
 field data into a
*.ZPL
 template file.
A Zebra ZKDU may also be used on printers without a Color Touch display using a slightly different procedure documented in the ZKDU guide.

    The printer loads any executable files and processes them. The available files are listed.

    KEYBOARDINPUT.ZPL

     fields in the file. In this case, it prompts you for your name.

    ENTER
    .
