Click OK on the “Page Properties” dialog box. Select the “Add Page” button to add a page to your new project. Click the “Create New Project” button to create your new project. Run eFORMz Composer, then create a new project, a new page, and a new form within that page.

The following simple exercise demonstrates how eFORMz can read in a ZPL file and add, remove, or change elements of the label to create the desired final label. The contents of the label can then be combined with other elements to compose the desired output, and this output can then be sent to any output device or file type supported by eFORMz. When using a ZPL file as input, eFORMz reads in the individual elements on the label and converts them into the eFORMz proprietary device-independent format. The Zebra Printer Language (ZPL) format is a full-featured printer language for producing labels that contain text, barcodes, lines and boxes, and graphics.

Many different types of files can be used as input to eFORMz, including PDF, text, XML, captured print spool files such as those going to a PCL 5 printer, or label files such as ZPL files. To follow along with this tutorial on importing ZPL, download the following: ZPL Input Sample
