SECTION ONE
ZPL II Programming Commands
Using Section One: ZPL II Command Reference
This section contains the complete alphabetical listing of ZPL II commands
supported by the X.10 firmware release.
The text in Section One is arranged using the following headings and conventions:
Description: Under this heading you will find an explanation of how the command
is used, what it is capable of, and any defining characteristics it may have.
Format: Format explains how the command is syntactically arranged and what
parameters it contains. For example, examine the ^B8 command, which prints a
EAN-8 bar code.
The format of this command is ^B8o,h,f,g. It is arranged with the caret symbol (^),
the command code (B8), and the parameters (o,h,f, and g). Each of the letters that
follow ^B8 o,h,f, and g are parameters and are replaced with supported values
determined by the user.
Parameters: If a command has values that the user can define to make its function
more specific, these are outlined as parameters. Parameters typically have Accepted
Values and Default Values.
Still using the ^B8 example, the h parameter is defined as:
h = bar code height in dots
Accepted Values: 1 to 32000 (dots)
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.
