Hello there,
 
I'm writing ZPL-2 code to print to a Zebra Z410 barcode printer.  Is there a way to print a "degree" symbol in a standard Zebra font ^ADN?  I did a little search and found some logic to print ASCII characters, but it's not working.I am able to print the tilde symbol but not the degree
 
This is the code I am sending to a Zebra Z410 printer
 
^XA
^LH0,0
^FO50,50
^FO50,450^ADN,18,10^FPH\^FH^FDStore below 30 _B0 C. Protect from Freezing _7E^FS
^XZ
 
Any help will be appreciated!!.
 
cheers

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot everybody for your help. it worked when I added ^CI27. But the question for me is how or when could have this value been modified. Is there some command where I can check what code page I am using or if this code page has been deleted or modified.

cheers

Hi Zolf,

You should be able to print the degree symbol. I think you just had the hex wrong for it. According to page 1267 of the ZPL Programming Guide, The hex for a degree symbol is A7. I made this change in you ZPL and tried to print it on my ZD410, and it printed successfully.
