ZPL Settings > For ZPL documents
The DPI is automatically set to the DPI of the connected printer. If your ZPL scripts are written for a different DPI, change the setting to match the DPI of your scripts. The Brady Script Emulator for ZPL adjusts for the different DPI so that content is printed on the label in the correct position.
Note that if the two DPI values are not cleanly divisible by whole numbers the adjustment may not be exact. For example, conversion from 200 to 600 DPI has no issues because 200 goes into 600 three times (a whole number). Conversions from 200 to 300 DPI may not be exact because 300 divided by 200 is a fraction, 1.5.
