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. Imagescan be downloaded and stored.
There are three basic types of commands:
?Setup
?Control
?Label format
Setupcommands
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 of every command.
?? Control and Setup commands use the tilde (~) and caret (^) prefix.
?? Label Formatting commands have no prefix.
Example: “~Ea,name,length “. ”I” is an image download command, and (a,name,length) are three parameters.

How to construct a label using EZ-Series command
To create a label, it must be an order command combination.
Control command
And
Setupupcommand
^L ^L is precedent for the beginning of label format
Label format command Label format command must be included
between the ^L and E command
EE is ending of label format
** Control or setup commands to be used in the label command area will be ineffective.
Example:
The following program example is printing a label with EAN8.Programisatextfile. No matter what language you
useinprogramming, simply send out the text file of the 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 width32mm
^H10 Setting up the darkness 10
^S3 Setting up the speed 6inches per second
^P1 Setting up the number of printing 1
^E10 Setting up the paper advance length to 10 mm from the print head after printing. The label
will move back 10 mm when the next label is printed.
^C1 Setting up the number of 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,42,39,2,5,100,0,1,1234567 Select EA N8 label, data content is1234567(See Charapter 2section 2)
ELabel content of stop symbol
The label can be created by the following MS-DOS command:
C:\>COPY EX1.TXT PRN?
To send the label to serial port by the following MS-DOS command:
C:\>MODE COM1 96,N,8,1
C:\>TYPE EX1.TXT >> COM1
