Set Protocol

Protocol is a type of error checking system. Depending on the selection, an indicator may be sent from the printer to the host computer signifying that data has been received. Select the protocol that is requested by the host computer. Further details on protocol can be found in the Programming Guide for ZPL, ZBI, Set-Get-Do, Mirror, and WML.

Default Value: NONE
