Determining Printer Configuration

The G-Series printer uses a ZPL printer configuration status label to report the printer’s configuration status for both EPL and ZPL operations.
The ZPL style label provides a more intuitive and functionally descriptive naming convention than the EPL style printer status label. Operational status (darkness, speed, media type, etc.), installed printer options (network, interface settings, cutter, etc.), and printer description information (serial number, model name, firmware version, etc.) are all included in the status label. See Printing a Test (Printer Configuration) Label to print this label. See ZPL Printer Configuration Format for details on printer configuration and the ZPL commands that control the printer settings listed on the Printer Configuration Status Label.
To get an EPL style printer configuration status label, send the printer the EPL
U
command.
See the EPL programmer’s guide for more information on the various EPL
U
commands and interpreting the settings displayed on these labels.
You can localize the label in languages other than English (see Localizing the Printer with Code Pages).
