    • Printing with this application
    A sample print format called SaleLabel.rpt is included with this project for printing mark down labels. It is designed in the Zebra CPCL command language and can be used with most Zebra mobile and desktop printers that accept this language. This format is defined for a 2" x 1.25" label but can be modified to fit whatever label size you require. If you do not see this label format in your list of reports it can be downloaded here.
