14177L-003 APL-I Reference Guide 11/24/09
Configuration Parameters, Transmit
Purpose To send the present printer configuration commands to the host.
Syntax
<ESC>p
Partially Supported Based on testing, this command is partially supported on the Zebra
printer with APL-I firmware with the following differences and outputs:
• Parameters not supported: Security level, audible alarm, power up mode, top
position, printhead pressure, number of image bands, amount of storage, online power
up test parameters, and printhead test are not supported by the printer. The values
transmitted for them are static default values.
Cut
Purpose To move the label to the cutter and cut.
Syntax
<SO>
Supported Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with
APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.
Notes To run the Cut command, the cutter device must be present and not yet enabled. Send
this command after printing stops.
Data Shift – International Characters
Purpose To enter certain command characters in a data field.
Syntax
<SUB> or <DLE>
Supported Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with
APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.
Notes This command enables you to use command characters as data characters in
Advanced and Emulation modes. It shifts the next character into the upper data bank. As a
result, to print international characters, the eighth bit is set to 1.
