Command

Set the Format Command Prefix Value

 

Character

The format command prefix is a two-digit hex value used as a parameter place marker in

 

ZPL/ZPL II format instructions. The printer looks for this hex character to indicate the start

 

of a ZPL/ZPL II format instruction.

 

Set the format command prefix character to match what is used in your label formats.

 

Important • You cannot use the same hex value for the format command prefix,

 

control character, and delimiter characters. The printer must see different characters

 

to work properly. If you are setting the value through the control panel, the printer

 

will skip any value that is already in use.

 

Accepted values: 00 to FF
