ZPL Renderer is a program intended to show you on screen what ZPL would look like if printed on a physical zebra printer. You can read ZPL commands from a text file or you can get the program to listen on a network port and send data to it over a network connection. If you can send a print stream over the network you can see the output on screen as a virtual printer. Not all ZPL commands are supported at this stage but more will be added.
The image above shows a pallet label (a5) being previewed on screen. The red border around the label shows the edge of the label/paper. You can zoom in and out and preview multiple labels.
