Open and print existing shipping labels with the correct Windows app and a printer that can interpret ZPL.
This guide covers Abicart ZPL Print App for Windows and ZPL labels from the Postnord workflow. You need an existing label and an installed compatible printer. An ordinary PDF reader or a printer without ZPL support does not automatically interpret the file correctly. The shipping-integration subscription and carrier agreement are separate requirements.
Install the app and download an existing label
Install Abicart ZPL Print App for Windows. Open Orders → Orders, select an order with an existing Postnord label and choose Perform function on selected → EDI labels.
Download the label; do not export or book the shipment again merely to test printing. A new booking can create an additional shipment and charge.
Choose the correct default app
Open File Explorer and select the downloaded label file.
Choose Open with → Choose another app.
Select Abicart ZPL Print App. Select the option to use it for this file type and confirm.
Select a printer and optional automatic opening
Download the same existing label again if needed. If the browser offers to always open this file type, enable it after verifying that the correct app opens. Menu labels depend on the browser and Windows version.
Select the installed ZPL-compatible label printer in the app. The selection is saved automatically. With Auto print disabled, use Print manually for the opened label file. Check a single printout, label size, orientation and barcode readability before enabling Auto print. Do not print manually again if automatic printing has already produced the label.
Test print produces the app’s demonstration label, not the current shipment’s shipping label. Never attach the demonstration label to a parcel.
If the label does not print correctly
Check the download, default file app, selected printer, connection and ZPL support. Printing raw code means the printer is not interpreting the file as intended. Close an outstanding app or popup dialog if it blocks the next opening. Do not create another shipment booking as a troubleshooting step or assume that a future app version fixes the issue.
Quick start
Install the app and download an existing label.
Associate the file type with ZPL Print App.
Select the correct ZPL printer.
Check one printout before automation.
