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:
• Fingerprint
• Direct Protocol (DP)
• IPL (Intermec Printer Language)
• ZSim (ZPL command language simulator)
• DSim (DPL command language simulator)
• Smart Printing
About Fingerprint
Fingerprint is a BASIC-inspired general purpose printer language. Use
Fingerprint to design custom label formats and write printer
application software. If you plan to run Smart Printing applications
directly on the printer, without connecting to a PC, select Fingerprint
as your printer command language. For more information, see the
Intermec Fingerprint Command Reference Manual.
The printer uses the Fingerprint printer command language by
default.
About Direct Protocol
Direct Protocol (DP) is a subset of Fingerprint that uses a more
intuitive English-like syntax. This flexible host-based printer
command language can also be used with Smart Printing applications.
Direct Protocol lets you combine predefined layouts and variable data
to create labels, tickets, and tags. If you are using bar code software, like
BarTender, select Direct Protocol as your printer command language.
