INPUT MODE Defines the type of processing that will occur when data is received, where:
DPL Datamax programming language processing will be used. (Default Setting)
LINE Line Mode processing will be used, where data terminated by a carriage
return will be extracted and inserted into a template for printing.
PL-Z Zebra programming language processing will be used.
DPL
EMULATION Allows the printer to reproduce, for the purposes of backward compatibility,
label formats with the same characteristics exhibited by previous models,
where:
STANDARD Standard DPL processing will be used for printing. (Default Setting)
ALLEGRO Processes DPL data as an Allegro®, including row position calculations
based on 194 dots per inch and the numerous exceptions noted below.
PRODIGY
PLUS Processes DPL data as a Prodigy Plus®, including column calculations
based on 200 dots per inch and the numerous exceptions noted below.
PRODIGY Processes DPL data as a Prodigy®, including column calculations based on
200 dots per inch and the numerous exceptions noted below.
Exceptions:
•
Data Terminator processing – When printing I 2 of 5 bar codes D, J,
and L, the first non-numeric character processed will terminate the bar
code data field.
•
Bar Size exception – When printing I 2 of 5 bar code L, if the bar size
specified is greater than P (25) it is automatically decreased to 10.
•
Human Readable Fonts fixed size – When printing EAN and UPC bar
codes B, C, F, G, M, and N, a fixed font size is produced.
•
Line and box vertical sizing anomaly – When printing rotations 2 and
4, lines and box are affected by the vertical multiplication factor
defined in the DPL Dxx command.
•
Column position defaults – Column positions greater than the
printhead width are adjusted back to the printable area and printed.
•
Bar codes in rotation 3 (upside down / right to left) default sizing –
When row position in rotation 3 is less than bar code height, bar codes
falling off the label's leading edge are pushed back onto the label.
•
<STX>L command – When no printable fields reside in the format, it
results in no paper movement.
