A Windows PC that can access the Zebra Printer on a network
Overview
The Zebra Printer web page has a feature that allows a user to copy or create ZPL commands in a built in editor and generate a label preview. It requires a desktop or tabletop model ZPL printer with a print server connected to the network. While this method does not allow for 100% ZPL functionality, it does provide a good tool for previewing ZPL labels without wasting media.
Procedure
1. Open a web browser and type in the printer's full IP address in the navigation bar and hit enter. This will take you to the print server web interface, which

5. A preview of the ZPL should appear:
