ZPL Commands
This section contains the complete alphabetical listing of ZPL II commands.
Description This heading provides an explanation of how the command is used, what it is
capable of, and any defining characteristics it has.
Format Format explains how the command is syntactically arranged and what parameters it
contains.
For Example The
^B8 command prints a EAN-8 bar code. The format of the ^B8
command is:
^B8o,h,f,g. It is arranged with the caret symbol (^), the command code
(
B8), and the parameters and are replaced with supported values.
Parameters If a command has values that can be defined to make its function more specific,
these are outlined as parameters. Parameters typically have Accepted Values and Default
Val ues.
Still using the
^B8 example, the h parameter is defined as:
h = bar code height (in dots)
Accepted Values:
1 to 32000
Default Value: value set by ^BY
If the command has no parameters – for example ~JA (Cancel All) – the parameter heading is
removed, indicating that the format of the command (
~JA) is acceptable ZPL II code.
