DISPLAYED ITEM ITEM DESCRIPTION
UNITS OF MEASURE Sets the measurement standard used, where:
IMPERIAL Uses inches. (Default Setting)
METRIC Uses millimeters and centimeters.
INPUT MODE Defines the type of processing that will occur when data is received, where:
DPL Processes data for standard DPL printing.
LINE Processes data for Line Mode (template) printing.
PL-Z Alternative programming language processing will be used, with the exception of the following DPL
specific-parameters: DPL Emulation; SOP Emulation; and Label Store.
PL-I Processes data for PL-I printing.
PL-B Processes data for PL-B printing.
AUTO Identifies then activates the appropriate emulation parser for the data.
USER LABEL MODE Sets the printer to power-up as default, where:
ENABLED Functions in standalone mode for quick access to user defined formats.

This mode will remain active until disabled.
DISABLED Functions in normal mode, awaiting commands from a host. (Default Setting)
DPL EMULATION Allows the printer to reproduce, for backward compatibility, label formats with the same
characteristics as those produced by legacy models, where:
STANDARD Standard DPL processing will be used for printing. (Default Setting)
ALLEGRO Processes DPL data as an Allegro®, including row position calculations based on 194 dots per inch
and the exceptions noted below.
PRODIGY PLUS Processes DPL data as a Prodigy Plus®, including column calculations based on 200 dots per inch
and the exceptions noted below.
PRODIGY 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.
