Hi I'm working with a Zebra printer GC420t.
I'm trying to print the same label two times:
the first time with vertical orientation.
the second time with horizontal orientation.
If I try to draw that labels on the "Labelary Online Zpl" (http://labelary.com/viewer.html) it seems to work well.
If I try to print the labels the vertical it print all the fields on the same line.
Some advices?

Maybe a sketchy solution, but try using the ^A command:

^FO100,50^AAB^FDTest1^FS
^FO250,50^AAB^FD100.00^FS
^FO400,50^AAB^BY2,0,80^BC^FD101.00^FS
^FO550,50^AAB^FDTest2^FS"

Why it is sketchy? You have to set the font and the rotation for every ^FD.
*Edit, in my first answer I used font A in CF command and that is not neccessary.

I alternately use 2 different label type and size, I have a zd421 Zebra Printer and when changing the labels it execute the media calibration automaticly to the rigth size of label, but it prints 3-5 blank label each time we change paper, is there any possibility to disable printing extra blank label during calibration? is it possible to disable the media calibration? I apreciate you could help me.
If your printer has a display, you can change this in the tools ("power up action" and "head close action") menu otherwise you can use the ^MF ZPL command.
Have a look here to see how you can set the automatic action when you close the printer lid and when you power on the printer and here you can see how to send the commands to the printer.
But in few words, if you want to disable the calibration at all, you've to send the following commands

On a GX430T, the label width is 2x3 inch. It prints out field "Material Name:" fine by wrapping it to the 2nd line.
When try the same code in production, using ZM400 printer with a label width of (1x3 inch). It prints all the fields, except the Material Name field, you just see a blank line where the Material Name field should be.
I suspect that it's a issue with label width. How do I change the ZPL code that it takes into account the label width of the production ZM400 printer?
The combination of these three commands might mess things up.
^LH30,20
^PW609
^FB590,2,,
^PW609 is print width of the label.
^LH30,20 sets home position at 30
^FB590 would create a field block that exceeds the print width of the label (30+590=620, which is > 609)
So maybe when you tweak these a bit, it might print it correctly?
I am trying to print the following text onto a label using a Zebra Printer:
Best Buy Date
00/00/00
SomeProductName
However the printer doesn't seem to detect the gap between the labels as it should when using MNW (Media Tracking, Web). It prints as if it is continuous and the text is scattered all over the labels/gaps. The labels are 1.25x1 inch labels.

I've looked over the documentation here: https://www.zebra.com/content/dam/zebra/manuals/en-us/software/zpl-zbi2-pm-en.pdf
but couldn't identify what I was doing wrong. Any help is appreciated!
Maybe you can focus just on notch settings for printer.
I don't have experience with zebra printers, but I had a printer with notch settings. Try to type notch in zebra documentation and ^LL command.
Hope this helps a bit,
best regards
The media Im printing on is 40mm and the Zebra QLN220 is set to 48mm which means some of the text is cut off how do i adjust this?
Thanks
If you are printing using ZPL commands the code to add would be:
^xa^PW320^xz
The printhead is 8 dots per millimeter. The PW sets the print width in dots. 8*40 = 320
If you are using a driver, CPCL, or line mode you need to look up how to change the print width for those methods.
This is the first time I've worked with ZPL code. I'm printing on a 200dpi ZP450ctp printer onto labels that are 2inx1in. The .zpl below is way to big but I thought I had it set right. Is anyone familiar with the .zpl language?

To start with your print width would then be 400 and label length would be 100. If you are using web based media you do not need to have these in your ZPL (remove the ^PW and ^LL).
Then you need to set the values right. Character height and with in your ^A0 command would make each character 1.5 inches.

Try the above it should get you closer to what you need. You want to adjust the ^FO commands to adjust the location of the objects, and adjust the pair of numbers after the ^AON, to adjust the font size.
