Direct Protocol (DP) is a flexible printer language that uses an intuitive
English-like syntax. 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 (the factory default)
as your printer command language.
ESim (EPL command language simulator) interprets Eltron
language commands. If you are sending EPL label files to the printer,
select ESim as your printer command language. For more information,
see the ESim Command Reference
ZSim (ZPL-II command language simulator) interprets Zebra™
programs 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.
You can use one of these methods to change the printer command
language:
• Print button
• Printer web page (with Ethernet option installed)
