About This Manual

This manual explains the differences between the Printer Protocol Interpreter Datamax Graphic Language (DGL) Utility and the Datamax® DPL™ language. Use this manual with your SL500r/T5000r User’s Manual for complete printer- protocol operation.

NOTE: When substituting a Datamax printer with an SL5000r/T5000r printer, refer to DGL Menu Conversions on page 45.

Coax/Twinax Interface Requirements

If you are using a coax or twinax interface, you must select the correct control code in the DGL configuration menu. Refer to the Coax/Twinax Programmer’s Reference Manual and your printer User’s Manual for instructions on how to select the appropriate control code.
