Chapter 1 - About the Printers About ZSim ZSim (ZPL command language simulator) interprets Zebra™ programs (ZPL II or later) without requiring any host programming changes. If you are sending ZPL label files to the printer, select ZSim as your printer command language. For more information, see the ZSim Command Reference Manual. About DSim DSim (DPL command language simulator) interprets Datamax™ data streams without requiring any host programming changes. If you are sending DPL label files to the printer, select DSim as your printer command language. For more information, see the DSim Command Reference Manual. About Smart Printing Smart Printing refers to the ability of the printer to independently run printing operations without being connected to a host computer. If you are running printer-based applications written in C#, select Smart Printing as your printer command language. For help creating Smart Print applications, go to the Intermec Developer Center at www.intermec.com/developer. About ESim/ZSim Auto-Configuration Use the ESim/ZSim auto-configuration feature when you are replacing another printer whose command language is unknown. When the printer command language is set to ESim/ZSim, on its first run the printer automatically calibrates the media, identifies the command language of the first incoming print job, configures the printer for the appropriate language (ESim or ZSim), and prints the label. Note: Load media before you turn the printer on, since the printer automatically calibrates the media when it starts in ESim/ZSim auto-configuration mode. The data stream must be at least 10 bytes long. Command language identification is activated after a 2-second timeout, or when the data buffer is full (1 MB).
