How to print PDF shipping labels on a ZPL printer
To print a PDF label on a thermal printer, open PDF to ZPL, add the label, choose the label stock and printer density, and send the ZPL file to the printer. Each page becomes one label.

Steps
- Open PDF to ZPL and add the label PDF.
- Choose the label size, such as 4 by 6 inches.
- Choose the density your printer uses, such as 203 or 300 dots per inch.
- Download the ZPL and send it to the printer.
The other way round
If you have a ZPL file and no thermal printer, ZPL to PDF draws every label as a page of a PDF, so you can check it or print it on paper.
Matching the density
A label made for the wrong density prints too large or too small. The density is printed on the printer or in its settings; 203 dots per inch is the most common.
