For detailed information on how to upload a TrueType font, refer to OSS Note 130658

In the case of ZPL II printers, this font is automatically downloaded to the printer at the beginning
of the print run as an IBM Codepage 850 scaleable font, and then deleted at the end of the print
run. It is also possible to tell the printer device type that the TTF is permanently stored in printer
Flash memory and therefore does not need downloading. If downloading performance or network
traffic is an issue, we strongly advise that you use a printer-resident scaleable font or store the
TTF on the printer’s Flash memory.

Download a TTF Font to Zebra Flash Memory

You should store the Font on E: or B: (Flash) not R: (RAM)

Download Zebra ZTools™ utility from

http://www.zebra.com/SD/utilities.htm#ZTools

Install, Run and select “Convert | Unbound TT”

Please ensure that the name uses no more that 5 characters (ZTools support 8 but SAP

has a 5-character limitation)

This will create a file with the extension of “ZSU”. In the case of “Arial,” this would be

“Arial.ZSU”. You then must download this to the printer.
