EPL Commands
This section contains a complete alphabetical listing of all EPL commands.
Memory and Command Usage
The printer stores configuration settings, fonts, graphics (logos) and label form files into
printer memory. The Command Reference includes a Memory column with the following
terms:
•Image commands are use to assemble the printed label image in the print image buffer.
•Form commands are only used within forms.
•Session commands place the configuration setting in temporary RAM memory. The
setting reverts to the printer default when the printer has power cycled or is reset.
•Stored memory commands will check for differences with the existing command setting
prior to validating a memory write operation. The printer's non-volatile "flash" memory
has a limited number of write cycles (100,000 plus).
•Writes to memory commands are commands that do not check to see if a setting, file,
font, character or graphic is already present or if that condition is already set. These
commands are rarely used in forms except as a printer initialization and function oriented
configuration.
