Hello every one, Hope you’re doing fine. I have a query can we print barcode for items in order to place on inventory. The requirement is to print the barcodes and place then on items （each） for pricing of GRN via scanner. I tried but couldn’t find the option. Best regards, Sadat

I wanted to share a demo video that I recorded a few days showing how to print ZPL directly to a Zebra ZD420 printer from OpenBoxes. [Barcode Printing Using Zebra ZD420]

Thanks for the question, Sadat. We have an experimental feature for printing shipping labels using ZPL, but haven’t ported that over to products yet.

Thanks Justin, this is pretty useful and a good starting point.

Great, thank you. What’s the emulator app so that I can also download it since it can adjust the size of the label as well. Sadat

another thing, I hope sooner it will be available for download or upgrade to Openboxes?

Yes, I’ll push my changes to the develop branch soon and let you know where you can access it. Here’s the ZPL emulator. [image] Zpl Printer Printer emulator for zpl rendering engine. And here’s another plugin that might be useful. [image] Zebra Prin…

Here’s a ticket that was created with the basic idea for supporting barcodes. Please feel free to add to it if you have more requirements.
