Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ZPL conversion and LabelZoom.

How does PDF to TSPL conversion work?
Our engine renders each PDF page at your printer's exact resolution (203, 300, or 600 DPI), converts it to a crisp 1-bit monochrome bitmap tuned for thermal printing, and encodes the result as print-ready TSPL (TSC Programming Language) commands. What you see in the preview is what your printer produces.
Why not just print the PDF directly?
TSC printers speak TSPL, not ZPL. Converting a PDF to native TSPL means the printer receives exactly the dots to print — faster and more repeatable than asking a Windows driver to rasterize the document on every print.
Which printers use TSPL?
TSPL (TSC Printer Language) is the native command set for TSC's thermal printer range, and is also accepted by a number of compatible printers from other manufacturers. If your printer's manual documents commands like SIZE, GAP, BITMAP and PRINT, it speaks TSPL.
