ZPLGFA CLI Tool
The ZPLGFA cli tool converts PNG, JPEG and GIF images to ZPL strings. So if you need to print labels on a [ZPL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra_(programming_language) compatible printer (like the amazing ZEBRA ZM400), but don't have ZPL-templates, you can use this free tool.
install
- install Golang
go install simonwaldherr.de/go/zplgfa/cmd/zplgfa
usage
So if your image file is label.png and the IP of your printer is 192.168.178.42 you can print via this command:
./zplgfa -file label.png | nc 192.168.178.42 9100
You can also use some effects, e.g. blur:
./zplgfa -file label.png -edit blur | nc 192.168.178.42 9100
The ZPLGFA is actually just a demo application for the ZPLGFA package, if you need something for productive work, look at the source and build something, depending on your needs
test
You have your ZPLs, but no ZEBRA printer? You can test almost all ZPL functionality at labelary.com.
