We have a requirement to print a pdf on zebra printer.
The printer is connected on Windows Phone 8.1 through blue tooth.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hello Venkateshkuma,

First, be sure to put your ZQ520 printer into ZPL mode.
This can be done programmatically by sending the following command to the printer:

! U1 setvar “device.languages” “zpl”

You would then need to convert the PDF into a black and white PNG file.
I’m not sure if you can do this natively in the Windows phone environment, you may need to use a third-party library or SDK.

Then convert your PNG File and convert it to either Hexadecimal or binary data and wrap it in ~DY ZPL command.
More information on the  ~DY command can be found in the ZPL Programming Guide:

Hope this helps.
