ZplRenderer

public sealed class ZplRenderer

Virtual ZPL printer: renders ZPL II to PNG/JPEG/WebP/BMP/PDF/GRF. Keeps printer memory (graphics, formats, fonts, label setup) between calls, like a real printer.

Thread safety: a ZplRenderer instance is not thread-safe (it keeps printer state such as ^LH/^PW/^MC between calls); use one instance per thread or synchronise access. Different instances may render concurrently and produce output identical to single-threaded rendering. A ZplResourceStore may be shared between instances (it is thread-safe); ZplRenderer.Settings must not be modified while rendering. Untrusted input is bounded by ZplRenderSettings.MaxLabelDots, ZplRenderSettings.MaxQuantity, ZplRenderSettings.MaxLabels, ZplRenderSettings.MaxGraphicBytes and ZplRenderSettings.MaxFieldDataLength. See THREADING.md.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
`LastCutPlan` { get; }	`ZplCutPlan`	Cut plan of the last `ZplRenderer.Render` / `ZplRenderer.ProcessCommands` / `ZplRenderer.RenderSvg` call: where a Zebra printer with cutter cuts (^MM, ^PQ, ^XB, ^CN, ^KV, ^JU, ~JK). Always computed (no effect on the output); set `ZplRenderSettings.CutMarks` to also draw the cuts into previews.
`LastElements` { get; }	`IReadOnlyList<IReadOnlyList<ZplRenderedElement>>`	Elements of the last `ZplRenderer.ProcessCommands` call (if `ZplRenderSettings.TraceElements`).
`LastRfidCommands` { get; }	`IReadOnlyList<IReadOnlyList<ZplRfidCommand>>`	RFID commands of each label of the last `ZplRenderer.Render` / `ZplRenderer.ProcessCommands` call (see `ZplRenderResult.RfidCommands`).
`PrintMode` { get; }	`ZplPrintMode`	Print mode (^MM) currently in effect; persists across formats like on a printer.
`Responses` { get; }	`List<string>`	Responses produced for host queries (~HS, ~HI ...) during the last call.
`SavedPrintMode` { get; }	`ZplPrintMode`	Print mode saved with ^JUS (restored by ~JR / `ZplRenderer.Reset`).
`Settings` { get; }	`ZplRenderSettings`
`Store` { get; init; }	`ZplResourceStore`	Emulated printer memory. Can be shared between renderers.

Methods

Method Signature	Returns	Description
# `ProcessCommands(string zpl)`	`List<byte[]>`	Renders ZPL and returns one encoded image per printed label (PDF: one document with all pages).
# `ProcessCommands(byte[] zpl, Encoding? encoding = default)`	`List<byte[]>`	Raw ZPL bytes, read like a Zebra printer (`ZplTextEncoding`: the code page of the active ^CI, power-up `ZplRenderSettings.DefaultCodePage`); a byte order mark or valid UTF-8 text is read as Unicode.
# `ProcessFile(string path)`	`List<byte[]>`
# `Render(string zpl)`	`List<ZplRenderResult>`	Renders ZPL to bitmaps. The caller owns (and must dispose) the bitmaps.
# `RenderSvg(string zpl)`	`List<string>`	Renders all labels as vector SVG documents (independent of `ZplRenderSettings.OutputFormat`; the other settings such as `ZplRenderSettings.SvgSelectableText` and colours apply). Shapes, barcodes and text (glyph outlines) are vector paths; each field is a <g> with data-cmd/data-offset/data-length.
# `Reset()`	`void`	Clears printer memory and label setup (power-on reset).

Events

Event	Handler Type	Description
`LabelRendered`	`EventHandler<ZplLabelRenderedEventArgs>`	Raised for every rendered label (after encoding).
`PrinterControl`	`EventHandler<ZplPrinterControlEventArgs>`	Raised for printer control commands that don't affect the image (media, darkness, status ~HS, calibration, ...). Set `ZplPrinterControlEventArgs.Response` to answer host queries.
