Easyzpl

Makes it easy to write ZPL & ZPL2. This Gem translates your Ruby Code into ZPL. You can then send your ZPL to your printers. In the future, this Gem will be able to directly interact with your Zebra Printers.

This Gem now outputs your Gem as a PDF Document (Prawn is now a dependency), because wouldn't it be nice to be able to see what your labels look like before trying to print? You're welcome.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'easyzpl'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install easyzpl

Usage

require 'rubygems'
require 'easyzpl'

# Create a simple label
# NOTE: The height and width parameters are optional.
# You only need to use them if you plan on using the
# to_pdf method.
label = Easyzpl::Label.new({ width: 400, height: 300 })
label.home_position(30, 30)
label.draw_border(0, 0, 400, 300)
label.text_field('ZEBRA', 10, 10)
label.bar_code_39('ZEBRA', 10, 30)
puts label.to_s
label.to_pdf("label.pdf")

# Create a stored template
label = Easyzpl::LabelTemplate.new('Template1')
label.home_position(30, 30)
label.draw_border(0, 0, 400, 300)
label.variable_text_field(10, 10)
label.variable_bar_code_39(10, 30)
puts label.to_s

# Created ZPL code to access the stored template created above
label = Easyzpl::StoredLabel.new('Template1')
label.add_field('ZEBRA')
label.add_field('ZEBRA')
puts label.to_s
