Introduction
This section contains information about the ba-
sic features, command syntax and terminology
of the EPL2 Programming Language for Zebra's
desktop printers with flash memory architec-
ture. These printers incorporate common pro-
gramming code sets and architectural features.
The primary operating mode for the printer is
EPL2, a page description language. It is de-
signed to assemble all the elements of the label
prior to printing to speed the printing process.
EPL2 is an ideal language for your labeling and
bar code requirements. The EPL2 is versatile
and is capable of printing a wide range media
and bar codes.
Some printer models also include a legacy
printer compatibility mode, Line Mode. Line
Mode supports our early model EPL program-
ming language - ELP1. A separate manual is
provided for Line Mode printing
(p/n 980326-001). See the printer's Software
and Documentation CD with the specific
model's Programmer' Manual button selector or
