FAQ
ZPL to STEP 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.

STEP file contains Standard for the Exchange of Product Data (ISO 10303). STEP format is a widely used by popular CAD software.
