Parker
- Python PDF
- Looked at peoples suggestions and none really did what I needed
- FPDF will do for now since I have made a template already
- Most suggestions are building HTML then converting to PDF which is fine but not really a good solution
- Zebra Printers
- ZPL or Zebra Programming Language
- My process so far for making a ZPL webapp thingy
- Zebra Designer 3 for Developers
- Makes the Template
- Push Template over to printer
- Use Variables for fields you want to “input”
- Zebra Setup Utilities
- Allows talking to the printer easily
- Zebra Browser Print SDK
- Makes a USB bridge to a local web server
- Web Server for Chrome
- Used to point to where your application is at
- Application is written in Javascript

- 0.005-0.01 DOC
- VFD EMC
- Pages 10-12
- VFD cables are to have the shield (screen) connected at both ends
- This is an impedance thing
- Shield should be at least 80% coverage
- Foil and braid is best but most expensive typically
