Use \£ (ESC + 0x9C) to print. However, be aware of the actual encoding in the text editor. Here is the actual encoding, viewed in Notepad++. I had to use HxD Hex Editor to ensure that the ESC and 0x9C are coded correctly

Thanks Steven. I cut and paste what you posted to "direct Communication with Printer" in the Zebra Setup Utility. It works. I've tried to create the Euro sign, but, could not make it work. Could you post similar code for Euro sign?

Thanks!
