Zebra

PHP ZPL builder, image conversion and a basic client for network-connected Zebra label printers.

Requires: PHP 5.5.9+ with the GD module.

• Create ZPL code in PHP that is easy to read.
• Convert images to ASCII hex (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WBMP, and GD2 supported).
• Simple wrapper for PHP sockets to send ZPL to the printer via raw TCP/IP (port 9100).

Example

The following example will print a label with an image positioned 50 dots from the top left.

use Zebra\Client;
use Zebra\Zpl\Image;
use Zebra\Zpl\Builder;

$image = new Image(file_get_contents('example.png'));

$zpl = new Builder();
$zpl->fo(50, 50);
$zpl->gf($image);
$zpl->fs();

$client = new Client('10.0.0.50');
$client->send($zpl);

The same example using static constructors and method chaining:

$image = new Image(file_get_contents('example.png'));
$zpl = Builder::start()->fo(50, 50)->gf($image)->fs();
Client::printer('10.0.0.50')->send($zpl);
