Intermec Printer Language Commands
This chapter provides a detailed description of the commands in the Intermec printer
command set that apply to the 4630 and 4830 printers. All Intermec printers use the
same printer command language. When designing label formats or printing labels,
refer to this chapter for command reference information. If you are using this
command set to design your labels, you may want to refer to Chapter 5 for
information on label design.

Command Set Summary

The Intermec Printer Language (IPL) commands that take effect when
downloaded to the printer depend on which mode the printer is operating in:
Print mode, Program mode, or Test and Service mode. When the printer is in
any of these modes, it responds to the commands specific to that mode only.
As described in the previous chapter, Print mode commands are used to print
labels and download data, configuration commands are used to enable or
disable printer features and options, and Program mode commands are used
for label format design.
Following the command descriptions and accompanying tables are the
functional boundaries of the printer within which you need to define the
boundaries of your labels.
Note: If you are using the parallel interface, you will not receive a response from the
printer for Print mode and Test and Service mode commands that transmit data.
Currently, the parallel interface is a one way (host-to-printer) interface. Refer to the
Appendix for more information.
