Overview

Overview

Zebra’s XML-Enabled printers provide a direct-connect solution for bar code label printing
into many of today’s leading supply chain management and manufacturing system
applications. This illustration shows you the direct-connect solution using XML.

Figure 2 • XML-Enabled Printer Pictorial Overview

Zebra XML Integrated Solutions

To simplify bar code label printing, the Zebra XML-Enabled and RFID printers and encoders
provide bar code output from these systems:

• Oracle

•SAP

•IBM

• Microsoft®

This gives you the ability to quickly and easily integrate complex printing solutions into your
enterprise systems.

For easy integration to the back end ERP systems, use Zebra Designer for XML to design your
labels.

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>

<!ATTLIST labels _JOBNAME CDATA #IMPLIED>

<!ATTLIST labels _QUANTITY CDATA #IMPLIED>

<!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 _PRINTERNUMBER CDATA #IMPLIED>

<!ATTLIST label _PRINTERNAME CDATA #IMPLIED>

<!ELEMENT variable (#PCDATA)>

<!ATTLIST variable name CDATA #IMPLIED>

If the XML stream follows the DTD semantics, it contains <labels> elements

1

that identify default attributes used by the printer to create the label. The
_FORMAT attribute identifies the appropriate stored label format.
Other attributes can be processed as well; for instance, the _QUANTITY attribute

2

can be used to set the print quantity of the label.
If the XML stream follows the DTD semantics, it contains <variable>

3

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.

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.

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

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

Introduction

Stored XML-Enabled ZPL Formats

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:

Introduction

18

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.

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.
