requiring manual selection of the desired mode.

Sets the measurement standard used, where:
Uses inches. (Default Setting)
Uses millimeters and centimeters.
Defines the type of processing that will occur when data is received, where:
Datamax-O'Neil programming language processing will be used. (Default Setting)
Line Mode processing will be used, where data terminated by a carriage return will
be extracted and inserted for template printing.
Alternative programming language processing will be used, with the exception of
the following DPL specific-parameters:
DPL Emulation;
SOP Emulation; and,
Label Store.
Identifies then activates the appropriate emulation parser for the data.
Sets the printer to power-up as default, where:
Functions in standalone mode for quick access to user defined formats; see Section
3.6.

This mode will remain active until disabled.
Functions in normal mode, awaiting commands from a host.
Allows the printer to reproduce, for backward compatibility, label formats with the
same characteristics as those produced by legacy models, where:
Standard DPL processing will be used for printing. (Default Setting)
Processes DPL data as an Allegro®, including row position calculations based on
194 dots per inch and the exceptions noted below.
Processes DPL data as a Prodigy Plus®, including column calculations based on
200 dots per inch and the exceptions noted below.
Processes DPL data as a Prodigy®, including column calculations based on 200
dots per inch and the exceptions noted below.
Data Terminator processing – When printing I 2 of 5 bar codes D, J,

and L, the first non-numeric character processed will terminate the
bar code data field.
Bar Size exception – When printing I 2 of 5 bar code L, if the bar

size specified is greater than P (25) it is automatically decreased to
10.
Human Readable Fonts fixed size – When printing EAN and UPC bar

codes B, C, F, G, M, and N, a fixed font size is produced.
Line and box vertical sizing anomaly – When printing rotations 2 and

4, lines and boxes are affected by the vertical multiplication factor
defined in the DPL Dxx command.
Column position defaults – Column positions greater than the

printhead width are adjusted back to the printable area then printed.
Bar codes in rotation 3 - (upside down / right to left) default sizing –

When row position in rotation 3 is less than bar code height, bar
codes falling off the label's leading edge are pushed back onto the
label.
<STX>L command – When no printable fields reside in the format, it

results in no label movement.
