Preview label written in Eltron Programming Language EPL?

epl, zebra-printers

Solution

Zebra doesn't provide software to do this for EPL labels, but if you have a ZPL/EPL printer and convert the labels to ZPL, you can use the printer's web page to view the label once its on the printer

Problem

I have code produced by our proprietry system in the Eltron Programming Language: This is sent to Eltron/Zebra label printers to be printed. Is there some kind of software that would allow me to interpret this code to do some form of 'print preview'? I am considering developing a way to convert this into an image or even postscript pdf, but I am struggling with how to do the barcodes (the lines starting in B is for barcodes). ``` N Q296,24 R132,0 S2 D9 ZB A3,2,0,3,1,1,N,"RB10SS5" B3,22,0,2C,2,4,35,N,"391369840" A3,60,0,3,1,1,N,"391369840" A3,80,0,3,1,1,N,"Testing" A3,100,0,4,1,1,N,"Serology" A3,130,0,1,1,1,N,"SSTORE" A185,16,0,1,1,1,N,"17 Mar" A185,35,0,1,1,1,N,"SEROL" A185,51,0,1,1,1,N,"0.50" B400,208,0,2C,2,4,40,N,"391369840" A400,254,0,2,1,1,N,"391369840" P1 ```
