DISPLAYED ITEM ITEM DESCRIPTION
UNITS OF MEASURE Sets the measurement standard used, where:
IMPERIAL Uses inches. (Default Setting)
METRIC Uses millimeters and centimeters.
INPUT MODE Defines the type of processing that will occur when data is received, where:
PL-Z Alternative programming language processing will be used, with the exception of
the following DPL specific-parameters:
DPL Emulation;
SOP Emulation; and,
Label Store.
AUTO Identifies then activates the appropriate emulation parser for the data.
DPL EMULATION Allows the printer to reproduce, for backward compatibility, label formats with the
same characteristics as those produced by legacy models, where:
STANDARD Standard DPL processing will be used for printing. (Default Setting)
ALLEGRO Processes DPL data as an Allegro®, including row position calculations based on
194 dots per inch and the exceptions noted below.
PRODIGY PLUS Processes DPL data as a Prodigy Plus®, including column calculations based on
200 dots per inch and the exceptions noted below.
PRODIGY Processes DPL data as a Prodigy®, including column calculations based on 200
dots per inch and the exceptions noted below.
Exceptions:
Data Terminator processing – When printing I 2 of 5 bar codes D, J,
and L, the first non-numeric character processed will terminate the
bar code data field.
Bar Size exception – When printing I 2 of 5 bar code L, if the bar size
specified is greater than P (25) it is automatically decreased to 10.
Human Readable Fonts fixed size – When printing EAN and UPC bar
codes B, C, F, G, M, and N, a fixed font size is produced.
Line and box vertical sizing anomaly – When printing rotations 2 and
4, lines and boxes are affected by the vertical multiplication factor
defined in the DPL Dxx command.
Column position defaults – Column positions greater than the
printhead width are adjusted back to the printable area then printed.
Bar codes in rotation 3 - (upside down / right to left) default sizing –
When row position in rotation 3 is less than bar code height, bar
codes falling off the label's leading edge are pushed back onto the
label.
<STX>L command – When no printable fields reside in the format, it
results in no label movement.
COLUMN
EMULATION
Allows the column dots per inch to be adjusted (153 - 253 dots), so that numbers
smaller than the printhead resolution reduce the printed output from right to left,
where:
