The tops of letters are cut off at the top of the label

This text is anchored by its baseline at y=10, which sits above the font's ascent — the tops of the characters are clipped off the label.

Raise the ^FT y-coordinate to at least the font ascent, or use ^FO, which anchors top-left.

^FT y-coordinate smaller than the ascent of the active font.

Neither ^PW nor ^LL is set. Both fall back to a value stored in the individual printer, not to a value in the spec — so the same ZPL prints differently on two printers of the same model.

Set ^PW and ^LL explicitly in every format.
