^XA ^CI0 ^FO150,150 ^BQN,2,5 ^FDLM,B0050斑马支持斑马支持000008 ^FS ^XZ
1. Open a notepad or a text-based editor
2. Type in the ZPL commands base on above commands
3. Save the file with any naming but do remember to select UTF-8 for the encoding
4. Using Zebra driver to send in the file by send file option from the tools
Do note that this is using encoding ^CI0 and reading the UTF-8 encoded characters from the text file itself which doesn't require any Chinese font in printer!
And in ^FD command, B0050 means 8-bit byte mode, ‘0050’ is the number of characters, this value must be greater than the actual value and must be exactly 4 decimal digits.
You can use any scanner to read the QR where it will displaying correct result to Chinese characters printed from the QR code.
