SGD Wired Commands
This chapter provides a high-level overview of the wired Set / Get / Do (SGD) commands. For
printer support of these SGD commands, see SGD Command Support on page 315.
Important • These are important points to note when using ZPL and SGD commands:
• SGD commands are case-sensitive.
• ZPL and SGD comma nds should be sent to the printer as separate files.
• Certain sett ings can be controlled by both ZPL and SGD. Configuration changes made in
ZPL can affect configuration changes made in SGD.
• Changes made with one command type (ZPL or SGD) will affect the data returned to the
host in response to both ZPL and getvar commands. The command type (ZPL or SGD)
that was sent last determines the current setting.
• Some RF cards do not support all of the SGD commands.
Important • These are important points to note when using a Zebra G-Series printer:
•You can send instructions to the printer using multiple programming languages: EPL,
ZPL, or SGD. EPL and ZPL commands configure the printer, print labels, and get device
status information. SGD commands set and get configuration details. These three
languages can be used without the need to send the printer instructions to switch from one
language to another.
•EPL, ZPL, and SGD commands must be sent to the printer as separate files. They cannot
be used together in one format, or set of commands. For example, if you send a series of
SGD commands to the printer and they are followed by a printable format, this needs to
be done using separate files.
