About 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 PDF Printing
• Direct Protocol
• DPL
Caution: Use only the AC power adapter supplied with the printer. The use
of a power adapter not approved by Honeywell voids the
product warranty and may damage the printer.
Caution: Turn the printer off when not in use.
