Sending Files to the Printer
Graphics, fonts and programming files can be sent to the printer from the Microsoft Windows
operating systems by using the Zebra Setup Utilities (and driver), ZebraNet™ Bridge or
Zebra
®
ZDownloader found on the user's CD or at www.zebra.com . These methods are
common for both programming languages and the G-Series printers.
Print Meter
The G-Series printer has the capability to report printhead maintenance alerts. The printer can
provide cleaning and early warning of end of calculated printhead life alerts. If the RTC (Real
Time Clock) is installed in the printer, the printhead life and history reporting will also include
the date. By default, print metering alerts are disabled.
Many of the print meter messages and reports are customize able. See the ZPL or EPL
Programming Guides for more information on the Print Meter.
To active the Print Meter Alerts, send one of the following commands to the printer:
• EPL command oLY
• ZPL command ^JH,,,,,E
• by printing out a printer configuration.
