Can I print bar codes with ZebraDesigner Pro?
  As ZebraDesigner Pro is bar code labeling software, all editions of ZebraDesigner Pro support all industrial standard linear and 2-D bar code types. For complete list please refer to the ZebraDesigner Pro Specifications.

 
Does ZebraDesigner Pro support import of text files?
  You can design labels to include all kinds of variable fields (text, graphics, bar code) with contents from text files (comma separated, fixed length fields, etc.) or almost any common database.

 
What types of databases are supported?
  ZebraDesigner Pro features native support for all standard databases (Access, dBase, Paradox, FoxPro) and text files. Moreover, there is also full 32-bit ODBC support, which gives you the opportunity to use practically all common databases (MS SQL Server, Oracle, AS/400, etc.)

 
What are the limitations in label design?
  With ZebraDesigner Pro there are almost no limitations as far as the label design and data retrieving are concerned. There are no limitations on the number of elements on the label (text fields, bar codes, linked fields, graphic files, etc.), and on the number of used databases.

 
Can I use 2-D bar codes?
  Besides the support for all standard linear bar codes, you can also count on 2-D bar code support. Please see the Specifications page for the latest list of supported bar codes.

 
I have to print EAN.UCC 128 (SSCC) bar codes? Is there any support for Application Identifiers?
  Special EAN.UCC 128 Bar code Wizard with more than 100 predefined AI's will give you active support for using EAN.UCC 128 bar code.
 
Does ZebraDesigner Pro support my (thermal transfer) printer?
  ZebraDesigner Pro can print to any current Zebra label printer.  It does not support Zebra card printers at this time.
 
   
What is the difference between individual ZebraDesigner Pro products?
  Due to different needs, we have divided ZebraDesigner Pro software into several editions. A chart that illustrates the features available in each version is available by selecting the ZebraDesigner Pro brochure here.

 
How can I integrate the label-printing process into my company's ERP application?
  You can design labels in a user-friendly environment and use ZebraDesigner Pro for mySAP's (release expected Q4 2007) special "Export to SAP R/3" option. The exported file is uploaded to the SAP R/3 system and printed on demand directly from the SAP R/3, without ZebraDesigner Pro or any additional software being installed. All other ERP systems can use data passing by means of text files or direct programming to send printer programming language (CPCL, EPL, or ZPL depending on the Zebra printer model).
