1. Commands
1-1. EZPL
The EZPL (EZ Programming Language) is a high-level label definition and printer control language.
The features are:
1. The data fields are stored and processed until the printing instruction is received.
2. All the data can be rotated.
3. Images can be downloaded and stored.
There are three basic types ofcommands:
• Setup
• Control
• Label format
Setup commands
Contain the printer control instructions, configuration instructions and image downloading instructions.

1-2. Language Description
Rules and syntax
EZPL commands have parameter strings associated with them;
• The commands begin with a letter as ID for each function.
• The comma (,) is the delimiter to separate each parameter.
• The CR [Carriage Return: decimal (13), hex (oD) signifies the end ofeverycommand.
• Control and Setup commands use the tilde (~) and caret (^) prefix.
• Label Formatting commands have no prefix.
Example: “~Ea,name,length “. ”E”is an image download command, and (a,name,length) are three parameters.

2. Examples
Howto construct a label using EZ-Series command
To create a label, it must be an order command combination.
Control command
And
Setup up command
^L^L is precedent for the beginning oflabel format
Label format command Label format command must be included
between the ^L and E command
EE is ending oflabel format
** Control or setup commands to be used in the label command area will be ineffective.
Example:
The following programexample is printing a label with EAN8. Programis a text file. No matter what language you
use in programming, simplysend out the text file ofthe contents and you can control what the EZ-Series prints.
Save the following contents (command file named: EX1.TXT).
Program command Description
^Q25,3 Setting up the height 25mm, gap 3mm
^W32 Setting up the width 32mm
^H10 Setting up the darkness 10
^S6 Setting up the speed 6 inches per second
^P1 Setting up the number ofprinting 1
^E10 Setting up the paper advance length to 10 mm fromthe print head after printing.
The label will move back10 mm when the next label is printed.
^C1 Setting up the number ofcopies (start value is 1)
^O0 Setting up the auto stripper function to be turned OFF
^R0 Setting up the left margin 0 dot
^D0 Turning the cutting function off
^LThe label content ofstart symbol
BB,42,39,2,5,100,0,1,12345
67
Select EAN8 label, data content is 1234567(See Charapter 2 section 2)
