help in printing Graphics in ZPL?

[nikhilSoni]

I have been having some problems printing graphics on zebra X140 II. First of all I would really like to find some freeware that helps me create the hex string. I have looked all over the place but no luck. It seems that we can use to grf file which stores the hex string but i dont know how to generate one from bmp/gif/jpeg. Basically I would like to find get some free that converts image file to hex string.

You need the ZebraTools program. It may be on the CD that came with the printer, or maybe it is available on the Zebra website.

I downloaded ztools but it doesnt help me out. It doesnt do convert pcx file I have.Also I dont think it supports monocromatic bitmap file. Basically I want something to convert pcx/monocromatic bmp files to be converted to hex string so that i can use ~DG and ^XG tags to print the graphic. Some type of source code or freeware is what i am looking for.

Zebra's label design software 'Zebra Designer' will probably do what you want. It is free from their website (not the Pro version) and supports JPG, BMP graphics files amonst others.

I have the same problem that nikhilSoni, but Zebra designer doesn´t solve my problem, because i'm sending the ZPL file through a VB code, so i need to convert the image to use my program. Can anyone help me?
