Prints directly to the console unless -o or --output is provided, then it will save the zpl to the target file.

-l --length Set the length of the label in pixels. 1200px is default.
-w --width Set the width of the label in pixels. 800px is default.
-o --output Set the output path. If omitted, the label will output to the terminal
-h --help Display this message
