Citizen - Windows printer driver

Driver version 4.4.68

Driver version 4.4.67

• Implementation of Rfid Read and store for Zebra printers

Driver version 4.4.66

Updates:

• Now user don't need to create a start value of "001" to count from 1..999 on ZPL printers with printer's internal counter, but can set just "1" and counter will not stay at just one digit like before. But user have to set in this case tha maximum length of counter to 3 ! In this case leading zero's will not be printed, so if you want leading zero's you still have to imput 001 for example.
  WYSIWYG for non-leading zero's counters is not accurate because the printer gets the maximum counter length data and this can not be improved.
