1. SCOPE

This specification applies to the Zebra converter for use with the LE840/LE850 series, general-purpose

thermal label printers.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This specification describes the operational procedures of the Z-MODE which converts the Zebra

Programming Language®(ZPL II®) to the TPCL command to perform printing.

LAN, USB, serial, and parallel interfaces are supported.

The following cases may occur:

(1) Print result is not exactly the same as when printed with Zebra printers.

(2) Print position and font size are slightly different.

(3) Guaranteed print throughput is not achieved.

(4) Oki Data’s printer specifications apply, for example memory capacity and the number of fields.

(5) Some Zebra commands are not supported.

(6) If the print start position of an object is placed within the print area but the end position is outside the

print area, the part beyond the print area will be printed starting on the left end of a new line.

* The BCI (Basic Interpreter)program is the BASIC program which works with the BASIC interpreter

embedded in the Oki Data printers.

- 6 -

Take the following steps to operate the Z-MODE:

(1) Download a BASIC file to your printer.

(2) Place the printer in the Z-MODE with the system mode parameter setting.

(3) Select a paper width and paper size.

(4) Send a Zebra command.

(5) To fine adjust a print position, print tone, etc., with the “Z-MODE Setting tool.”

The BASIC file name shall start with the following string:

In the case of the LE840/LE850 series: “Z-LE“

- 7 -

3. CONSTRUCTION

3.1 FILE CONSTRUCTION

Each model has two BASIC files as below:

Version 1.0

No. Model File name Remarks

1 Z-LE8X0D-M10.BAS MAIN PROGRAM

LE8X0D

Z-LE8X0D-S10.BAS SYSTEM MODE PROGRAM

3 Z-LE8X0T-M10.BAS MAIN PROGRAM

LE8X0T

Z-LE8X0T-S10.BAS SYSTEM MODE PROGRAM

(Version included in each file name changes as necessary. “11” in “Z-LE8X0D.BAS” represents the

version.)

* To operate BASIC files for the Z-MODE, do not modify the first four letters in the file name (e.g. “Z-LE”).

3.2 MAIN PROGRAM AND SYSTEM MODE PROGRAM

Main Program

The main program allows the Oki Data printers to issue labels when they receive Zebra commands.

System Mode Program

The system mode program enables setting of Zebra command parameters with key operations in

the system mode of the Oki Data printer.

- 8 -

3.3 DATA FILE

ZEBRAPRM.TXT

This is a parameter file described in “Section 5. DEFAULT SETTING.” Usually, this file is automatically

created by the BASIC program, but it also can be downloaded by using the Z-MODE Setting Tool.

ZDEFAULT.TXT

This file contains a table of the initial values to be used just in case a transmission of Zebra commands

partly failed, and a font conversion table. When setting is required, use the Z-MODE Setting Tool to

download this file.

3.4 Z-MODE SETTING TOOL

This is Windows application software that enables changing of the settings of Z-MODE behavior (such

as fine adjustment of fonts) and downloading of various files.
