We have several Zebra printers (ZM400, ZT410) and we would like to know on which printer a label has been printed in case of bad printing.
Is it possible to print the printer name on the label? How can I do that? We use ZPL.
How can I print the printer name on a label |

Hi Ict, The only way to do this in the label if you don't know it already is with CPCL at the moment. As the ZT and ZM do not run CPCL, you have to get the value before printing and add it as Steven and Evgeniy are recommending.
! U1 setvar "device.friendly_name" "PRINTER_NAME"
You can write any value to this variable and use it as an "identifier" if you use this command.
! U1 setvar "device.friendly_name" "" but do not specify a value, then the serial number of the device will be entered into it.
Or you can use getvar "device.unique_id" when printing a label
