Printer Configuration Menus
COMMAND CHAR
Description: This menu item is used to change the format command prefix. The format
command prefix is an ASCII (two-digit hexadecimal value shown in parenthesis) used as
a parameter place marker in ZPL/ZPL II format instructions. The printer looks for this
command character to indicate the start of a ZPL/ZPL II format instruction.
Set the format command character to match what is used in your label formats.
Important • You cannot use the same hexadecimal value for the format command prefix, control
character, or delimiter characters. The printer must see different characters to work properly. If you
are setting the value through the interface, the printer will skip any value that is already in use.
Acceptable values: 00 to FF hexadecimal
Related ZPL command(s):
^CC or ~CC
SGD command used: zpl.caret
