Zebra Technologies Z6M manual Selecting Prefix and Delimiter Characters, Range 00-FF, Range 00 FF

Selecting Prefix and Delimiter Characters

Prefix and delimiter characters are 2-digit hex values used within the ZPL/ZPL II formats sent to the printer. The printer uses the last prefix and delimiter characters sent to it, whether from a ZPL II instruction or from the front panel.

NOTE: DO NOT use the same hex value for the control, format, and delimiter character. The printer needs to see different characters to function properly.
