ZPL Printer Configuration Format and Reusable Files

To set up and manage multiple printers that need the same configuration, create a printer configuration programming file to download to all of them. The other option is to use ZebraNet Bridge to clone many printers with the same file that you used to configure one printer.
For information on creating a programming file to send to one or more printers, see the ZPL programmer’s guide and the Configuration Setting to Command Cross-reference. You can use Windows Notepad as the text editor to create programming files and Zebra Setup Utilities to send these files to the printer(s).
The figure below shows the basic recommended structure for a ZPL programming configuration file. This simple format makes the file reusable.
