1. Commands
1-1. EZPL
The EZPL (EZ Programming Language) isa high-level label definition and printercontrol 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 basictypesof commands:
• Setup
• Control
• Label format
Setup commands
Contain the printer control instructions, configurationinstructionsand image downloading instructions.

2. Examples
Howto constructalabel using EZ-Series command
To create a label, it must be an order command combination.
Control command
And
Setup up command
^L ^L isprecedent forthe beginning of label format
Label format command Label format command must be included
between the ^L and Ecommand
E E is ending of label format
** Control or setup commandsto be used in the label command area will be ineffective.
Example:
The following program example isprinting a label with EAN8. Program isa text file. No matter what language you
use in programming, simplysend out the text file of the contentsand you can control what the EZ-Seriesprints.
Save the following contents (command file named: EX1.TXT).
Programcommand 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 inchespersecond
^P1 Setting up the numberof printing 1
^E10 Setting up the paper advance length to 10 mm from the print head after printing.
The label will move back10 mm when the next label is printed.
^C1 Setting up the numberof copies (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
^L The label content of start symbol
BB,42,39,2,5,100,0,1,12345
67 Select EAN8 label, data content is 1234567(See Charapter 2 section 2)
E Label content of stop symbol
The label can be created bythe following MS-DOS command:
