4.6.66.3462

• Maximum print speed for Postek G3106D is 4 ips.Speed value of 83mm/s has change into 88mm/s for all printers, because this is 3.5 ips and the command for speed is regular then (S35).Fonts are renamed from Century into Postek for all models.

4.6.64.3284

• UPC-A is sent without check digit to the ZPL printer, because printer add the check digit by itself.UPC-E has been already work in this way. The reason is that old ZPL printers take the last 11 digits for data and not first 11 digit (of 12) for data.

4.6.64.3252

4.6.63.3224

4.6.62.3170

• If user sets the RFID transponder offset in the printer setup, this could cause a problem with the printer because the offset causes, that much of the label does not get printed whenever the elements is sent after the RFID command. Everything that is send before the RFID command, prints fine. Now we have change the print stream, that RFID command is always the last of all elements. In this case there is no problems with the print getting cut off.:p
