Depending on how your printer was ordered, it came from the factory with firmware that 
operates in or allows you to use certain commands for one of the following printer languages:

• Zebra Programming Language (ZPL

), which includes XML

• Eltron

 Programming Language (EPL™)

• Datamax

 Programming Language (APL-D™)

• Intermec

 Printer Language (APL-I™)

You may download firmware to the printer at any time to change from one printer language to 
another. For the latest firmware versions and instructions for downloading them, go to 

.

The following manuals contain specific information about the different printer language 
modes. Copies of these manuals are on the CD that came with your printer and at 

• ZPL  II

 Programming Guide

• Zebra  XML-Enabled  Printer Reference Guide

• EPL2™ Programming Guide

• APL-D™ Reference Guide

• APL-I™ Reference Guide

The following restrictions apply:

• EPL, APL-D, and APL-I are supported only on 203 dpi printers.

• RFID functionality is available only with R53.X firmware, which operates in ZPL mode 

with XML. Other printer languages do not support RFID.

When the printer changes from one printer language to another, error messages may 

appear on the LCD, and some control panel lights may activate in error mode. You may 
ignore these error messages and lights. When the firmware download is complete, reboot the 
printer and then load printer defaults to return the printer to Operating mode.
