6 PX4ie and PX6ie High Performance Printer User Guide
Printer Command Languages
A printer command language is a set of instructions that controls printer functions:
• Configure the printer.
• Return the status of the printer.
• Control peripheral devices.
• Format a label or receipt for printing.
The printer supports these command languages and language simulator support
options:
• Autosense
• Direct Protocol (DP)
• Fingerprint
• Intermec Printer Language (IPL)
• ZPL Command Language Simulator (ZSim)
• Datamax Programming Language (DPL)
• Smart Printing (C#)
Autosense
Autosense allows the printer to automatically sense from label to label, the
incoming data stream and its language, and print each label accordingly. It also
supports auto-detection of DP, ZSim, and DPL.
Note: The printer is set to 'Autosense' by default. In an environment where only one
command language will be used, it is highly recommended to set the printer to the
specific printer command language for better printer language conformance.
Direct Protocol (DP)
Direct Protocol is a subset of Fingerprint that uses a more intuitive English-like
syntax. This flexible, host-based printer command language can also be used with
Smart Printing applications.
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.
