 Introduction 15
Document Type Definition

Document Type Definition

An XML DTD defines the XML tags that are used in the XML file. The host system generates
XML files according to this DTD, and the Zebra XML-Enabled printer translates the XML
according to this DTD.

Example • This example shows the XML DTD that is used to form the XML understood by
the Zebra XML-Enabled printer. It defines the elements that are used in the XML data stream
and a list of their attributes and the next level elements.

Note • Following the example is a table that identifies the bold lines in the example:

<!ELEMENT labels (label)*>

<!ATTLIST labels _FORMAT CDATA #IMPLIED> 1
<!ATTLIST labels _JOBNAME CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST labels _QUANTITY CDATA #IMPLIED> 2
<!ATTLIST labels _DUPLICATES CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST labels _PAGES CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST labels _PRINTERNUMBER CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST labels _PRINTERNAME CDATA #IMPLIED>

<!ELEMENT label (variable)*>

<!ATTLIST label _FORMAT CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST label _JOBNAME CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST label _QUANTITY CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST label _DUPLICATES CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST label _PAGES CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST label _PRINTERNUMBER CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST label _PRINTERNAME CDATA #IMPLIED>

<!ELEMENT variable (#PCDATA)>

<!ATTLIST variable name CDATA #IMPLIED> 3

1 If the XML stream follows the DTD semantics, it contains <labels> elements
that identify default attributes used by the printer to create the label. The
_FORMAT attribute identifies the appropriate stored label format.
2 Other attributes can be processed as well; for instance, the _QUANTITY attribute
can be used to set the print quantity of the label.
3 If the XML stream follows the DTD semantics, it contains <variable>
elements that have “name” attributes. The “name” attribute contains the variable
name that corresponds to the variable field in the label format. The
<variable> element text contains the data that is placed in the variable field in
the label format.

11/15/07 Zebra XML-Enabled Printer Reference Guide 13426L-003 Rev. A

16 Introduction
Expected XML Data Stream

Expected XML Data Stream

The content of the XML data stream lies between <labels> and </labels>, which
correspond to all labels to be printed. The content between <label> and
</label> has the information to print one label. Each <variable> and
</variable> pair gives the value of one variable on the label.

Note • In this example, notice the bold lines.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>

<!DOCTYPE labels SYSTEM "label.dtd">
<labels _FORMAT="E:SERIAL.ZPL" _QUANTITY="1"
PRINTERNAME="Printer 1" _JOBNAME="LBL101">
<label>
<variable name="organization">611</variable>
<variable name="item">Nuts</variable>
<variable name="lot">1234</variable>
<variable name="serial_number">12345</variable>
<variable name="revision">V2</variable>
<variable name="lot_status">1234</variable>
<variable name="serial_number_status">Active</ variable>
</label>
</labels>

Example • The XML data stream contains the <labels> element that defines the format,
quantity, printer name, and job name. The Zebra XML-enabled printer uses the _FORMAT
element to recall the stored XML-Enabled ZPL format from memory, and also the
_QUANTITY element to determine the number of labels to be printed. Also, notice that the
serial_number is one of several defined variable data fields, and 12345 is the variable
data to be printed on the label.

 Introduction 17
Stored XML-Enabled ZPL Formats

Stored XML-Enabled ZPL Formats

To reduce the amount of customization required to implement enterprise printing, the Zebra
XML-Enabled printing solution uses stored XML-Enabled ZPL formats. The format is stored
in the printer’s memory and recalled by the XML data stream. Multiple formats may be stored
in printer memory, limited only to the size of the format and the amount of memory in the
printer. Graphic files are generally larger and take up more memory.

ZebraDesigner for XML is used to create the XML-Enabled ZPL formats.

Send Files to Printer

There are multiple ways to send XML files to the printer, such as:
• ZebraNet Bridge
• FTP
• Telnet
• hyper terminal

Serial Label

Example • This is an example of a XML-Enabled ZPL format for a serial label. Following
this example is the XML-Enabled ZPL format for this serial label:

11/15/07 Zebra XML-Enabled Printer Reference Guide 13426L-003 Rev. A

18 Introduction
Stored XML-Enabled ZPL Formats

XML-Enabled ZPL Format for the Serial Label

The difference is that the ^FD (field data) statement following the standard ^FN (field name)
definition identifies the XML variable field to the printer. The printer then matches the
variable field name to the XML data. In this case, the serial_number variable field data is
matched to the format.

Note • As shown below, the ^FD statements and the information immediately following them
represent the names of the variable data fields in this format. During label printing, these
strings are replaced with the user’s variable data.

Stored XML-Enabled ZPL Formats

XML Data Stream for the Serial Label

The XML data stream specifies the label format name and quantity to be printed. The printer
recalls the correct label format, based on that information. Then the XML data stream defines
the variable field data. The printer matches the variable field attributes and data to the
attributes defined in the stored XML-Enabled ZPL format. The data that follows the attribute
is then merged with the XML-Enabled format and printed.

Add Variable Fields

Add Variable Fields

If you want to print a label on which the data changes for each label, ZebraDesigner for XML
offers different variable fields (date/time fields, link to the variables) that you can use with
text, picture, and bar code objects.

For this example, a new label was created. The steps in the following topics explain how to
create a label that contains a variable field and date/time fields.

Create Variable Fields linked to Variables

The object on the label that is linked to the variable can have a different value for each printed
label.

To create a text object linked to the variable, do the following:

1. In the Toolbox, click .

2. Click the label where you want to place the text object. The Text Wizard dialog box opens.

3. For the Contents, select Variable text.

4. Click Next.

5. Select Variable Field.

6. Click Next.

7. Select one of the existing variables in the list. If no variable is available in the list, you
must create some.

8. Click Finish. The text object is placed on the label and linked to the selected variable.

Note • This example shows how to create a text field linked to the variable. You can use the
same approach to create and link a variable to the bar code object.

11/15/07 Zebra XML-Enabled Printer Reference Guide 13426L-003 Rev. A

32 ZebraDesigner for XML
Add Variable Fields

Create Date and Time Variable Fields

Content of the variable field can be filled automatically with the date or time stamp from the
computer clock or printer clock (for supported printer models).

To place a date field on the label, do the following:

1. In the Toolbox, click the arrow .

2. From the list, select New Date Field.

3. Click on the label where you want to place the object. The Date dialog box opens.

4. Leave everything as default. The date is used on the label using the selected format.

5. Follow the prompts.

Use Prefix or Suffix Options

You can add a prefix and suffix to each variable field on the label. Both are added to the value
when you preview and print the label.

To add the prefix to the variable field on the label, do the following:

1. In the Toolbox, click the arrow .

2. From the list, select New Time Field.

3. On the label, click where you want to place the object. The Text Wizard dialog box opens.

4. Click Next.

Export to Printer

Export to Printer
During the label design make sure the label prints correctly. To verify the printout of your
label, from the menu, select File > Test Print. When you are satisfied with the designed label,
you can export the label to the printer. During the export process, ZebraDesigner for XML
runs the XML Format Generation Wizard and converts the label format to a supported Zebra
printer.

The generated file includes commands from the Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) and is
ready to be used in the printer for off-line printing.

Note • Off-line printing is a term that describes the type of label printing where the label
design application is not available at print time. Usually the label format is stored in the
memory of the printer and can be recalled. Off-line printing support is great for print
requirements where the PC computer cannot be included in the label printing process either
because of unacceptable working conditions or logistic issues.
Off-line printing also provides faster label printing because all variable objects on the label
use internal printer functionality.

To export the label to printer, do the following:

1. From the menu, select File > Export to Printer. The Stored Format Settings dialog box
opens.
