About ESim/ZSim Auto-Configuration
Use the ESim/ZSim auto-configuration feature when you are
replacing another printer whose command language is unknown.
When the printer command language is set to ESim/ZSim, on its first
run the printer automatically calibrates the media, identifies the
command language of the first incoming print job, configures the
printer for the appropriate language (ESim or ZSim), and prints the
label.
The data stream must be at least 10 bytes long. Command language
identification is activated after a 2-second timeout, or when the data
buffer is full (1 MB).
Note: Load media before you turn the printer on, since the printer
automatically calibrates the media when it starts in ESim/ZSim
auto-configuration mode.
