You will need the serial module installed for this.

```python
serialnum = '12345678'
partnum = '4CJ9876'

zpl = '~JA^XA^BY3,3,60^FT015,110,^BCN,N,N,N,N^FDP' + partnum + '^FS^FT120,030^A0N,40,45^FDP' + partnum + '^FS^FT015,250,^BCN,N,N,N,N^FDS' + serialnum + '^FS^FT120,180^A0N,40,45^FDS' + serialnum + '^FS^PQ1,0,0,N,^XZ'

# Configure serial port
system.serial.configureSerialPort(\
port="COM1",\
bitRate=system.serial.BIT_RATE_9600,\
dataBits=system.serial.DATA_BITS_8,\
handshake=system.serial.HANDSHAKE_NONE,\
hardwareFlowControl=False,\
parity=system.serial.PARITY_NONE,\
stopBits=system.serial.STOP_BITS_1)

# Open serial port
system.serial.openSerialPort('COM1')

# Write ZPL data to serial port
system.serial.write('COM1', zpl)

system.serial.closeSerialPort('COM1')
```

The serial module is a [separate purchase](https://inductiveautomation.com/pricing/ignition) from the standard Ignition package.

A walkthrough on how to install a module can be found at [Inductive University](https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/video/installing-or-upgrading-a-module/7.9?r=%2Fvideo%2Fsearch%2F%3Fq%3Dmodule%26checked_topics%3D).

I highly recommend that you go through the free courses available at Inductive University to familiarize yourself with the software. It seems like you are trying to dive into the deep end of the pool. 🙂
