ZPL emulator Extension

Utilizes the labelary API to convert raw ZPL text into an image, all within a convenient popup. It allows for label width, height, and dpmm adjustment, and provides easy png and pdf download options. While other emulators are locked to chrome OS, this one can run in any chrome browser.

Additionally, subscribed users can purchase our PrintNode integration to enable remote printing.

It doesn't yet have the ability to receive print data directly, and requires copy-pasting the ZPL text for now. If you'd like a system that can consume zpl directly from a browser print let me know in the comments.
