ZPL is not a programming language. It is a printer control language 173.11.16.86 (talk) 16:32, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Previous code example was bad, now corrected

The code example given was an example of bad ZPL coding. I felt I had to fix this, having wasted several days trying to fix a bad ZPL label which broke subsequent labels ...

Specifically, the ZPL sets Label Home to 30,30 (^LH30,30). This is a global parameter and changing it will affect every subsequent label which is printed. This was the cause of my obscure problem. Therefore, I felt I should correct Wikipedia's example.

Solution: Amended the example to reset Label Home to origin. (^LH0,0)

Bad example

I think the example is bad regarding the ZPL programming guide. Indeed, The D font (bitmapped) can go up to 180 height and 100 width. In the example, ^ADN,200,100 is not correct. 200 is more than 10 times the standard height of D font...
