ZPL Notes for QLn

• No changes are needed to the device.languages SGD parameter to enable ZPL, both CPCL

and ZPL are always active. Label formats using CPCL and ZPL commands can be

alternated, but only on complete label boundaries.

• ZPL labels print bottom first by default, as they do on legacy mobile printers and tabletop

printers.

• Mobile batch files: ZPL commands are now supported in the config.sys and au- toexec.bat

files. For example the ^POI command can be added to the config.sys file to cause labels to

print top first.

• When printing ZPL labels the default drive is the R: drive. In other words if you load a file

via a ZPL command and the drive letter is not specified, the file will be stored on R:. All

CPCL files are stored on the E: drive.

• The concept of Pause is an inherent part of ZPL. There are several commands that will put

the printer in a Paused state. Tabletop printers address this by including a Pause button on

the front panel. The QLn does not have this option. When the QLn enters a Paused state,

the Pause message will appear on the screen. Pressing the Feed Button will take the printer

out of Pause and will NOT feed any media. If the printer is not in a Paused state, and the

feed button is pressed, the normal label feed operation will be performed.
