#A python package created for Zebra integration with suflex software.
Install the latest version from Github using:
pip install --upgrade https://github.com/JarnDev/suflex_zebra/archive/master.zip
This package was mainly created for use with Python 3. The essential functionality, however, will also work with Python 2: the creation of label files.
In order to run the suflex_zebra command line utility, the directory it resides in
needs to be in the PATH envirnoment variable.
On some systems, the pip install command defaults to the --user flag resulting in the utility
being put in the ~/.local/bin directory.
On those systems, extending the path variable via export PATH="${PATH}:~/.local/bin" is needed.
The main user interface of this package is the command line tool suflex_zebra.
Usage: suflex_zebra [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Command line interface for the suflex_zebra Python package.
Options:
-b, --backend BACKEND_IDENTIFIER **Not implemented!
-m, --model MODEL_IDENTIFIER **Not implemented!
-p, --printer PRINTER_IDENTIFIER
The identifier for the printer. This could
be a string like tcp://192.168.1.21:9100 for
a networked printer or
usb://0x04f9:0x2015/000M6Z401370 for a
printer connected via USB.

The most important command is the print command and here is its CLI signature:

This package was derived from https://github.com/pklaus/brother_ql/ created for brother label printers used at the company, I just built a package that accepts the most used commands for minimal code changes at company code sources.
- Rremove all hard coded variables and utilize the input args.
