ZPL Commands Support
ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK rendering engine supports most of the ZPL formatting and control commands. The following table lists the supported commands as well as the ones which are under work. Not listed or unsupported commands will be skipped in the parsing stage.
Note
The barcode symbols, particularly 2D-type like QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec Code, Maxicode..., might look different to the one printed by a real printer because ZPLPrinter Emulator SDK leverages on its own barcode encoder. However, this does not mean that the rendered barcodes will not be readable at all.
