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:
Processes data for standard DPL printing.
Processes data for Line Mode (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.
Processes data for PL-I printing.
Processes data for PL-B printing.
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.

This mode will remain active until disabled.
Functions in normal mode, awaiting commands from a host. (Default Setting)
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.
Exceptions: 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.
