Autosense
Autosense allows the printer to automatically sense from label to label, the
incoming data stream, and its language, and to print each label accordingly.
Note: Autosense is the default printer configuration and does not support an IPL data
stream.
Direct PDF Printing
PDF printing refers to the ability of the printer to directly print PDF files without
additional middleware or smart device with generated PDF. If you are sending PDF
files to the printer, select PDF printing as your printer command language.
Direct Protocol
Direct Protocol (DP) uses a more intuitive English-like syntax. Direct Protocol lets
you combine predefined layouts and variable data to create labels, tickets, and
tags. If you are using barcode software, select Direct Protocol as your printer
command language.
DPL
The DPL command language interprets Datamax™ data streams without requiring
any host programming changes. If you are sending DPL label files to the printer,
select DPL as your printer command language.
ESim
ESim (EPL command language simulator) interprets Eltron printer command
language. If you send EPL label documents to the printer, you should select ESim
as your printer command language.
Fingerprint
Fingerprint is a BASIC-inspired general purpose printer language. Use Fingerprint
to design custom label formats and write printer application software. If you plan
to run Smart Printing applications directly on the printer without connecting to a
PC, select Fingerprint as your printer command language.
