FAQ
ZPL to PGM Conversion
What are ZPL files?
ZPL is a print file written in the Zebra Programming Language, the command language of Zebra thermal printers. A file of this type is plain text that describes a finished printout, such as a shipping label, a price tag, a wristband, or a receipt: where each line of text, barcode, box, and picture sits on the page and what it contains. The printer reads the commands and draws the page itself, so the same file prints without a layout program. ZPL files are produced by ZebraDesigner, by store, warehouse, and point-of-sale systems, and by hand, and they are usually sent to the printer directly instead of being opened in an editor.
What are PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
