Direct Protocol

Direct Protocol (DP) uses a more intuitive English-like syntax. Direct Protocol lets
you combine predefined layouts and variable data to create labels, tickets, and
tags. If you are using barcode software, select Direct Protocol as your printer
command language.

ESim

ESim (EPL command language simulator) interprets Eltron printer command lan-
guage. If you send EPL label documents to the printer, you should select ESim as
your printer command language.

Fingerprint

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.
