ZGL EMULATION MODE (TABLE 4-11)

 

 

 

 

 

 

MENU

 

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allows the format instructions command prefix to be selected.

 

 

 

The allowable range is 1 to 255, and the factory default is 94.

 

 

 

 

Label Prefix

 

 

94*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allows the delimiter used to separate the parameter of a command to be selected.

 

 

 

The allowable range is 1 to 255, and the factory default is 44.

 

 

 

 

Delimiter

 

 

44*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PPI supports text printing using the LP+ emulation.

 

 

 

Absorb - factory default. Use this setting for ZPL compatibility. Absorbs non-PPI data.

 

 

 

 

Text Mode

 

 

 

Auto Pass-thru- use this setting for text printing. Non-PPI data is passed to the LP+

 

Absorb*

 

 

 

 

emulation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ZGL Quiet - all data and PPI commands are passed to the LP+ emulation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The incoming data will be checked for the string HS or JA prior to entering the ZGL emulation

 

 

 

parser based on the HS Command or the JA Command. Once the string is detected, the

 

 

 

 

Preparser Cmd

 

 

 

command will immediately take effect.

 

HS Command*

 

 

 

The factory default is HS Command.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allows the selection of a port for preformatted data to be parsed through. The code being sent to

 

 

 

the printer must comply to the parser format specified in the ZGL programming manual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Preparser Port

 

Disable - factory default. Disables the parser command feature.

 

Disable*

 

Parallel - select if the data is coming to the parser through the parallel port.

 

 

 

Serial - select if the data is coming to the printer through the serial port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MC Label Format. The ^MC command determines whether the printed label image should be

 

 

 

retained for use immediately following label definition. The MC Label Fmt option determines the

 

 

 

internal format to be used for storing the label image (list format or bitmap format).

 

MC Label Fmt

 

List Format - factory default. Works for most applications but memory must be sufficient.

 

List Format*

 

Bitmap Format - to be used in applications where a large amount of data is sent. Bitmap

 

 

 

 

format has greater efficiency of memory use. The label image of the next label is overlaid on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the bitmap for the current label (instead of accumulating a list of stored print elements like

 

 

 

 

List Format, which might eventually run out of memory in a large print job).

 

 

 

Print Quantity Label Format. Allows selection of the method for printing a label from memory.

 

 

 

List Format - factory default. A list of all stored print elements (graphics, text, barcodes) is

 

 

 

 

reprocessed and xecuted again for each label. Work for most applications.

 

PQ Label Fmt

 

 

 

List Format*

 

Bitmap Format - the bitmap of the first label is stored and copied over for each label printed

 

 

 

 

without reprocessing a list of all print elements. To be used only in applications that print

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

labels of the same data for greater print speed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Label Buffer Size. This option allows the label buffer size to be set. The buffer is used to store the

 

 

 

data from ^XA up to ^XZ for command processing. The maximum buffer size cannot exceed the

 

 

 

amount of available memory in the system. If a menu value greater than the amount of memory

 

 

 

available is selected, the menu value will be set to the amount available. To increase the amount

 

Label But Size

 

 

 

of available memory, increase the Glob Mem Adjust setting in the Printer control menu.

 

560K Bytes*

 

 

 

The new buffer size only takes effect upon powering on, so perform a Save Config for the new

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

setting and select that configuration as the Power-Up.

 

 

 

The allowable range is 160 to 3600 Kbytes, and the factory default is 560 Kbytes.
