Printer Language Modes

Printer Language Modes

Depending on how your printer was ordered, it came from the factory with firmware that operates in or allows you to use certain commands for one of the following printer languages:

•Zebra Programming Language (ZPL®)

•Eltron® Programming Language (EPL™)

•Datamax® Programming Language (APL-D™)

•Intermec® Printer Language (APL-I™)

Firmware Downloads

You may download S4M firmware to the printer at any time to change from one printer language to another. For the latest firmware versions and instructions for downloading them, go to http://www.zebra.com/firmware.

Note • When the printer changes from one printer language to another, error messages may appear on the LCD, and some control panel lights may activate in error mode. You may ignore these error messages and lights. When the firmware download is complete, reboot the printer and load printer defaults to return the printer to Operating mode.

New or Modified Commands

See ZPL II Commands on page 131 for ZPL II commands that changed or that were added specifically for this printer.
