Converting LBL to ZPL format

[crisshah27]

Hello, How can I convert LBL (nicelabel format) to ZPL format ?

You can use export functionality or simply print to a file, as this will produce the ZPL. Of course, you need to make sure that the ZEBRA printer will be used for this "print".

Please clarify this. I select my Zebra printer and when I click print to file the only option I have is .prn (no option for .zpl)?

thats right - but you can rename the generated file from .prn to .zpl
Also you may have a look inside and verify the ZPL-statements.

Pay Attention:
the .ZPL can only be used for native fixed printing (e.g. by replacing "fixed" value inside the file).
It can NOT be used for changed data which is included as binary -
e.g. changed graphics or text in truetype-font (which is also generated as graphic)
because the graphics a computed by the application / printerdriver

also barcodes which are NOT native supported by the printer are calculated graphics -
so a .LBL with a dynamic barcode may not be printable with dynamic data
