Determining Printer Configuration
The printer uses a ZPL printer configuration status label to report the printer’s configuration
status for both EPL and ZPL operations.The ZPL style label provides a more intuitive and
functionally descriptive naming conventions than the EPL style printer status label.
Operational status (darkness, speed, media type, etc.), installed printer options (network,
interface settings, cutter, etc.) and printer description information (serial number, model name,
firmware version, etc.) are all includes on the status label.
To get an EPL style printer configuration status label, send the printer the EPL U command.
See the EPL programmer’s guide for more information on the various EPL U commands and
interpreting the settings displayed on these labels.
The printer configuration status label can be localized for up to 16 languages. Use the ZPL
programming command
^KD to modify the displayed language for most status items on this
label.
See Printing a Configuration Label on page 30 and Feed Button Modes on page 33 for
information on accessing the printer configuration status label.
