About ZSim
ZSim (ZPL command language simulator) interprets Zebra™
programs (ZPL II or later) without requiring any host programming
changes. If you are sending ZPL label files to the printer, select ZSim as
your printer command language. For more information, see the ZSim
Command Reference Manual.
About DSim
DSim (DPL command language simulator) interprets Datamax™ data
streams without requiring any host programming changes. If you are
sending DPL label files to the printer, select DSim as your printer
command language. For more information, see the DSim Command
Reference Manual.
About Smart Printing
Smart Printing refers to the ability of the printer to independently run
printing operations without being connected to a host computer. If
you are running printer-based applications written in C#, select Smart
Printing as your printer command language.

Developer Center at www.intermec.com/developer.
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.
