The ZPL programming language has various printer memory locations that are used to run the printer, assemble the print image, and store formats (forms), graphics, fonts, and configuration settings.
ZPL treats formats (forms), fonts, and graphics similar to the way it treats files. It treats memory locations like disk drives in the DOS operating system environment.
Memory Object Naming supports up to 16 alphanumeric characters followed by a three alphanumeric-character file extension (for example:
123456789ABCDEF.TTF
).
Legacy ZPL printers with V60.13 firmware and earlier can use only an 8.3 filename format instead of today’s 16.3 filename format.
Allows moving objects between memory locations and deleting objects.
Supports DOS directory style file-list reports as printouts or status to the central device or host computer.
