Voidxor: Voidxor moved page Talk:Zebra (programming language) to Talk:Zebra Programming Language: The proper name is Zebra Programming Language, but it is not actually a programming language (hence removing the disambiguation parenthesis). It appears to be proper noun so I'm keeping the capitalization as was done with Eltron Programming Language.

			== Previous code example was bad, now corrected ==

			The code example given was an example of bad ZPL coding. I felt I had to fix this, having wasted several days trying to fix a bad ZPL label which broke subsequent labels ...

			Specifically, the ZPL sets Label Home to 30,30 (^LH30,30). This is a '''global parameter''' and changing it will affect every subsequent label which is printed. This was the cause of my obscure problem. Therefore, I felt I should correct Wikipedia's example.

			Solution: Amended the example to reset Label Home to origin. (^LH0,0)
