Prototype Receipt

Before Designing the Receipt

P1026208-001 Rev. B Software Integrator Guide 10/29/2010

• Time and Date - RTC (Real Time Clock) option

• Serialized Data (counters) should not normally be used. The count is stored in

DRAM and is lost when the printer is reset, power is lost, or by other printer

control commands that clear temporary memory.

• Prompted user data input. This is ZPL feature typically is used with a wedge

device (Zebra KDU, bar code scanner, keyboard, keypad, etc.) via a standard

Zebra printer’s serial port. Use your kiosk application to prompt the user instead.

• Variable Data should not be used for prototype receipt design. Variable data can

easily be added to stored receipt format or concatenated into the ZPL code sent to

the printer by the kiosk application.

• As of this date, Zebra kiosk printers utilize direct thermal technology only. Most

direct thermal prints on the media as black print. Other colors are available upon

request, including our new IQ Color media. See the ZipZebra Web site for more

information and ordering high quality Zebra media at www.zipzebra.com.

Before Designing the Receipt

Receipt (or label) design can be accomplished quickly when all the basic design elements

have been pre-defined and mocked up prior to laying out the receipt in Zebra Designer.

This will allow the receipt objects to be added in the most efficient manner and result in

fewer iterations prior to design approval.

Here are some of the typical issues and items that should be addressed prior to beginning

receipt layout:

• Dimensions: Determine the media width and typical length of the printed area

from a sketch or mock-up generated in some other program (e.g. Word,

Photoshop, Powerpoint, Paint, etc.). The sketch or mocked-up receipt should

include all the design elements.

• Media Type: Continuous roll media is the typical media used by the kiosk printer.

In some cases, pre-printed media is required. The printer supports black mark

media to synchronize the pre-printed content with on demand printing.

Note • If Fan-Fold media is used, the media must have black marks to synchronize the

printer to the folds (for proper media cutting).

• Bar Code(s): If bar codes are part of the receipt design, then a bar code format

that meets the clients needs, industry, and scanning equipment should be defined

prior to laying out the receipt. Bar codes can have unique character usage,

minimum size and quite-zone (blank space) requirements.

• Logo Graphics: Collect logo graphics and pre-load them into the software

development system. The Zebra supplied software and utilities can help

converting the graphics for import into the printer as 203 dpi Black and White

(B/W) graphics. See the two tables on the following pages for more information on

supported graphics formats.
