Label rotation by 180 degree

[Former Member]

HI,

i want to rotate my complete label by 180 degree.

i m using portrait format right now.

Hi,

for ZPL here You are rotation commands:

- ^FWN - normal orientation (0 deg.)

- ^FWR - rotated 90 deg.

- ^FWI - rotated 180 deg.

- ^FWB - rotated 270 deg.

Regards,

I'm hoping someone still reads this thread. I'm trying to rotate my label but I can't seem to get it to work. Maybe I'm inserting ^FWR in the wrong area. Does the Zebra detect paper-orientation and override my ^FW command?

Hi Brian,

perhaps you had set the printer in always rotate modus. That can be done in the printermenu itself and also at the printserver-configuration.

I would check these first, if that doesn't help, you just have to share more details, what you have done. What do you develop? A smartforms, a sapscript, or just a streamfile to the printer. What have you tried to fix the issue...

You see, a lot of details are needed to give you a valueable answer.

How do I access the printer menu or the printserver-config?

I shared the .zpl I'm sending to the printer. I wrote it in a text file and send it directly to the Zebra in terminal. I'm just developing a .zpl template so we can print barcode's for our items.

I've tried using ^FWx  where x is R or I but it doesn't change the orientation at all. I've pasted my .zpl code above if that's helpful. Thank you for taking time to respond, would love more of your thoughts on this.

Figured it out, if it's useful to anyone else my ZPL code is below. It's for a 1x2in label printed from a ZP450cpt

HI friend,

Try using ZPL commands.

In that use '^FWR' which will rotate a single element 90 degrees.

So using it twice i think you can get 180 degrees shift.

To have a clear idea just see the SAP note 1298919.

Have a look at this PDF (Page no 40)for better understanding Link: [Zebra printers Smart FOrms|http://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/documentlibrary/misc/sap_smartforms_technical.File.tmp/SAP_SmartForms_V3.pdf]

I think this should solve your issue.

If you have nay queries please revert back to me i will help you.

Thanks,

Sri Hari
