Printer Command Languages

A printer command language is a set of instructions that controls printer functions:

•

Configure the printer.

•

Return the status of the printer.

•

Control peripheral devices.

•

Format a label or receipt for printing.

The printer supports these command languages and language simulator support 
options:

•

Autosense

 

•

Direct Protocol (DP)

•

Fingerprint

 

•

Intermec Printer Language (IPL)

•

ZPL Command Language Simulator (ZSim)

•

Datamax Programming Language (DPL)

•

Smart Printing (C#)

Autosense

Autosense allows the printer to automatically sense from label to label, the 
incoming data stream and its language, and print each label accordingly. It also 
supports auto-detection of DP, ZSim, and DPL. 

Note:

The printer is set to 'Autosense' by default. In an environment where only one 
command language will be used, it is highly recommended to set the printer to the 
specific printer command language for better printer language conformance.

Direct Protocol (DP)

Direct Protocol is a subset of Fingerprint that uses a more intuitive English-like 
syntax. This flexible, host-based printer command language can also be used with 
Smart Printing applications.  

Direct Protocol lets you combine predefined layouts and variable data to create 
labels, tickets, and tags. If you are using barcode software, select Direct Protocol as 
your printer command language.
