I'm using the ZebraDesigner software to create a simple label with a QR Code. It looks good when I print it, but I also need the .prn file with all the information contained inside the QR Code to be "readable". When I open the .prn file with Notepad++, the QR Code line looks like this:

,:::::::::::::::::M07FHFI01FHFC00FFC1FMFC,::::M07C1F07C1FF80H0F801F0K07C,::::O01FKFH03FF0H01F07FHF07C,::::M07FE0F83E007FIF801F07FHF07C,::::M07FHF07FHFH03E0FFC1F07FHF07C,::::M07C00F83E007FIF801F0K07C,::::O01FF80H0HFC1FHFC1FMFC,::::M07C1F0H01FHFC1F07C,::::O01FF801FHFC1F0H01FF83FIFC,::::R07C1FF801FHFC0J01FHFC,::::M07FE0FJFH03E0I01F003E,::::M07C1FF83E007FE0F80I07FE0FFC,::::M07C00FKF83FF07FHF07C0H07C,::::W07FE0FFC,::::M07FMF07C1F07C1FMFC,::::M07C0J01F003FF07C1F0K07C,::::M07C1FHFC1F07C0H07C1F07FHF07C,::::M07C1FHFC1F07FE0FFC1F07FHF07C,::::M07C1FHFC1F0J0F801F07FHF07C,::::M07C0J01F07C0J01F0K07C,::::M07FMF07C0H07C1FMFC,::::,::::^XA

But i want it to be in pure ZPL, just like this one, shown in the The Zebra Programming Guide :

^FO20,20^BQ,2,10^FDQA,0123456789ABCD

Does anyone know what should I do to generate the file like the one in the documentation or how can I convert it? I've already done a lot of research, but I can't sort it out.

Thanks!

I'm able to reproduce the problem by using a micro QR code.

If that's not mandatory, I suggest you use a "standard" QR code.

  • I'm actually using the standard QR Code, not the micro. – gcmk Sep 21 '15 at 11:50
  • How do you generate it via the interface ? – Marc Brillault Sep 21 '15 at 12:31
  • I'm using the Zebra Designer software (can be downloaded [here](https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/software/barcode-printers/zebralink/zebra-designer.html)). The "QR" object, which is the one I use, is inside the "2D" category of the toolbox. – gcmk Sep 21 '15 at 18:22

I managed to solve this. I reinstalled the printer via ZebraDesigner and changed its port from LPT to USB. Now the .prn file is finally being generated correctly.

It happens when you use different fonts on your label design. If you use Windows fonts, The ZebraDesigner will convert the text into a graphic.

So use Zebra fonts.
