Set the Format Command Prefix Value
The format command prefix is a two-digit hex value used as a parameter place marker in
ZPL/ZPL II format instructions. The printer looks for this hex character to indicate the start
of a ZPL/ZPL II format instruction.
Set the format command character to match what is used in your label formats.
Important • You cannot use the same hex value for the format command prefix,
control character, and delimiter characters. The printer must see different characters
to work properly. If you are setting the value through the control panel, the printer
will skip any value that is already in use.
