ONYX:9.0:Utilisation:XPSConfig et conversion ZEBRA/en

Conversion to ZEBRA

Language Tags

To enable the XPS to ZEBRA conversion profile, you first need to create a ZEBRA profile using the <language> tag like this

<language>ZEBRA</language>

Résolution

To change the resolution of the ZEBRA output stream, we need to use the resolution XML tag.

<resolution>203</resolution>

Fonts settings

Utilization of the resident text fonts

In order to make the ZEBRA stream ligher, it is possible no to include the fonts in the Zebra job. To do so, we need to use the fonts tag.

Exemple :

 <fonts>
   <font name="Arial" italic="0" bold="0" codeFont="I"/>
   <font name="Arial" italic="0" bold="1" codeFont="J"/>
 </fonts>

In our above example, if in the Designer project creating the XPS file, we have :

• Arial , Not bold then in the output stream will have the call of font I
• Arial , bold then in the output stream will have the call of font J

Barcodes case

Barcode tag

This parameter is to embed or not the font of the barcode in the datastream. If the barcode font is not embedded, the barcode will then be managed by the printer itself using its own resident fonts.

When this parameter is not set, it is set to OFF, this means the barcode font will be embedded in the datastream.

The syntax in the profile is as follow :

<barcode>off</barcode>

Supported values:

• FONT : The font is embedded in the datastream
  
• PRINTER : The font is NOT embedded in the datastream
  
• IMG : The barcode will be sent in image mode
  

For retrocompatibily reason, the following values are also possible :

• ON (on, YES, yes, 1) : The font will not be embedded in the datastream
  
• OFF (off, NO, no, 0) : The font will be embedded in the datastream
  

Default value : FONT

Custom Barcode Size

• bcheight: barcode height in points.
• bcwidth: two comma-separated values, corresponding to, respectively:

- width of a thin bar in points

- ratio between a thin bar and a thick bar

Example:

<barcodes>
        <barcode type="19" height="100" size="46" bcheight="55" bcwidth="3,2.6" />
</barcodes>

Means that a Code39 (type 19) barcode, with font size 46 and vertical deformation 100%, will be printed in Zebra as a resident barcode of 55 points high, with a thin bar of 3 points, and a thin bar/thick bar ratio of 2.6.

Cutter Management

<cutter config="MMT" cmd="MMC" />

Activates the cutter at the end of printing
