Set Format Prefix Character
The format prefix is a two-digit hex value used as a parameter place marker
in ZPL/ZPL II format instructions. The “H” that is displayed indicates
Hexadecimal and is not part of the value. The print engine looks for this
hex character to indicate the start of a ZPL/ZPL II format instruction. See
the ZPL II Programming Guide Volume I for more information.
Note • Do not use the same hex value for the control, format, and
delimiter character. The print engine must see different characters
to work properly.
Default: 5E (caret)
Range: 00 to FF
To change the value shown:
1. Press the left oval to move to the next digit position.
2. Press the right oval to increase the value of the digit.
Set Delimiter Character
The delimiter character is a two-digit hex value used as a parameter place
marker in ZPL/ZPL II format instructions. See the ZPL II Programming
Guide Volume I for more information.
Note • Do not use the same hex value for the control, format, and
delimiter character. The print engine must see different characters
to work properly.
Default: 2C (comma)
Range: 00 to FF
To change the value shown:
1. Press the left oval to move to the next digit position.
2. Press the right oval to increase the value of the digit.
Select ZPL Mode
The print engine remains in the selected mode until it is changed by this
parameter or by using a ZPL/ZPL II command. The print engine accepts
label formats written in either ZPL or ZPL II, eliminating the need to
rewrite any ZPL formats that already exist. See the ZPL II Programming
Guide for more information on the differences between ZPL and ZPL II.
Default: ZPL II
Selections: ZPL II, ZPL
To change the value shown:
1. Press the left or right oval to toggle between the options.
