4.4.67

  • Implementation of Rfid Read and store for ZPL printers

4.4.66

  • There is possible in ZPL to print counter without leading zeros. This can be done with NL communication because this setting should driver get from NL.

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.
