Selecting Prefix and Delimiter Characters (next three parameters)
Prefix and delimiter characters are 2-digit hex values used within the ZPL/ZPL II formats sent to the printer.
The printer uses the last prefix and delimiter characters sent to it, whether from a ZPL II instruction or from the
front panel.
Do not use the same hex value for the control, format, and delimiter characters. The printer must see different
characters to function properly.
