Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert label dimensions between printer DPIs?
Multiply the label size in inches by the target dots per inch to get the raster size in pixels, then scale the artwork by the ratio of target DPI to source DPI.
What does the ZPL II transpiler output?
The transpiler emits ZPL II commands such as ^PW for print width and ^LL for label length, computed from the label dimensions and the target printer DPI.
How is thermal roll and ribbon length estimated?
Roll length uses L = (π × (D² − d²)) / (4 × t), where D is the outer diameter, d is the core diameter and t is the label plus liner thickness.
