Test-Printing with a Copied ZPL Command File for Non-Windows Operating Systems

  1. Create a text file that has the following characters:
    ~WC
  2. Save the file as
    TEST.ZPL
     (or use any filename and extension name).
  3. Copy the file to the printer.
    For DOS, if the printer is connected through a serial port connection, type 
    COPY TEST.ZPL COM1
     on a blank command line, then press
    Enter
     to send the command.
    Other interface connection types and operating systems will have different command strings. See your operating system documentation for detailed instructions on how to copy the command to the appropriate printer interface for this test.
The printer should print a configuration report.
If the printer does not print the test report, see Troubleshooting.
