Exercise 4: Enter Data for a Stored File with a USB Keyboard and Print a Label
The Print Station feature allows you to use a USB Human Interface Device (HID), such as a keyboard or a
barcode scanner, to enter
^FN field data into a *.ZPL template file.
1. After performing the previous exercise, plug a USB keyboard into a USB host port.
2. Tap Menu > Print > Print Station.
The printer loads any executable files and processes them. The available files are listed.
3. Select the file KEYBOARDINPUT.ZPL.
The printer accesses the file and prompts you for the information in the
^FN fields in the file. In this case,
it prompts you for your name.
4. Type your name on the keyboard, and then press <ENTER>.
The printer prompts for the number of labels to print.
5. Specify the desired quantity of labels, and then press <ENTER> again.
The specified number of labels is printed, with your name in the appropriate fields.
