Smart Printing
Fingerprint is a BASIC-inspired general purpose printer language. Use
Fingerprint to design custom label formats and write printer application
software. If you plan to run Smart Printing applications directly on the
printer, without connecting to a PC, select Fingerprint as your printer
command language. For more information, see the
Command
Reference.
The printer uses the Fingerprint printer command language by default.
Direct Protocol (DP) is a subset of Fingerprint that uses a more intuitive
English-like syntax. This flexible host-based printer command language
can also be used with Smart Printing applications. Direct Protocol lets you
combine predefined layouts and variable data to create labels, tickets,
and tags. If you are using bar code software, like BarTender, select Direct
Protocol as your printer command language.
IPL (Intermec Printer Language) is a host-based printer command
language. Use IPL to design, modify, and download label formats; write
printer application software; and configure the printer. If you are sending
IPL label files to the printer, select IPL as your printer command
language. For more information, see the
ZSim (ZPL command language simulator) interprets Zebra™ programs
(ZPL II or later) without requiring any host programming changes. If you
are sending ZPL label files to the printer, select ZSim as your printer
command language. For more information, see the
Reference.
