ZSim Programmer’s Guide 11
What is ZSim?
ZSim is a Zebra™ interpreter program that interprets legacy ZPL
II or later programs on an Intermec EasyCoder PF2i, PF4i, PF4i
Compact Industrial, PM4i, PX4i, PX6i , PD41, PD42, or PB50
Mobile Label printer with Fingerprint. To use ZSim, you need to
load the ZSim program into the printer, configure a few settings,
and start sending Zebra commands. If the ZSim program was not
factory-installed, you can find it on the PrinterCompanion CD
or you can download it from the Intermec web site.
System Requirements
The printer must be equipped with a minimum of 8 MB of
DRAM.
Loading ZSim on the Printer
Depending on your printer model, you can load ZSim on the
printer using one of these methods:
• CompactFlash card (all EasyCoder printers)
• Intermec FieldInstaller (PB50 mobile printer)
Loading ZSim With a CompactFlash Card
You can load ZSim on the supported EasyCoder printers by
using a CompactFlash card. The card must meet these
requirements:
• Have at least 128 MB of available free space
• Be formatted with FAT or FAT 16, but not FAT 32
