GoDEX EZ-1100/EZ-1200/EZ-1300 Printer Programmer's Manual: EZPL Commands & Barcode Details

1. Commands

1-1. EZPL

The EZPL (EZ Programming Language) is a high-level label definition and printer control language. Its features include:

Data fields are stored and processed until the printing instruction is received.
All data can be rotated.
Images can be downloaded and stored.

Basic Types of Commands:

Control
Setup
Label format

Control commands cause the printer to take action immediately, such as cleaning memory or feeding labels.

1-2. Language Description

Rules and Syntax

EZPL commands have parameter strings associated with them. The command begins with a letter as an ID for each function. The comma (,) is the delimiter to separate each parameter. The “CR” (Carriage Return) is also used. Control and Setup commands use the tilde (~) and caret (^) prefix. Label formatting commands have no prefix. For example, “~Ea,name,length” is an image download command, where 'a', 'name', and 'length' are three parameters.

Control Commands Details

1. Date/Time Setting

Syntax: ~Dm, d, y, h, i, s
Parameters: m (month 01-12), d (date 01-31), y (last two digits of year), h (hour 00-23), i (minutes 00-59), s (seconds 00-59).
Description: Sets the printer date and time. The printer records the value even after being turned off. To add date/time in label format, combine with text commands ^T and ^D.

2. Graphic Download Memory

Syntax: ~Ea, name, length
Parameters: a (P or p for PCX, B or b for BMP), name (image name, up to 20 characters), length (image byte length).
Description: Downloads monochrome images onto memory. The printer beeps once after completion. If the same file name is used, the printer displays “REPEAT FILE NAME” and rejects the download.

3. Graphic Mode

Syntax: ~G
Parameters: None.
Description: Puts the printer in image-receiving mode. Image data is directly sent from the host to the printing buffer.

4. Bit-Mapped Font Download

Syntax: ~Jn
Parameters: n (character, from a-z or A-Z; up to 26 characters).
Description: Loads fonts. The printer beeps once after completion. If the same file name is used, the printer displays “E”. Downloaded fonts are compatible with HP Laser Jet II Plus (PCL-4).

5. Acknowledge from RS-232

Syntax: ~Kn
Parameters: n (0 for disable, 1 for enable).
Return Value: Y
Description: Acknowledges a “Y (0D0A)” from RS-232 back to the host for each printing label.

6. Delete Specific File from Printer Memory

Syntax: ~MDELx, name
Parameters: x (G for Graphic, F for Label Format, E for Bit-Mapped font, A for Asia Font, T for Text, D for Database), name (name of the file).
Description: Deletes individual files or erases entire flash memory (excluding Asia font if only ~MDEL is sent).

7. Display the Memory State

Syntax: ~MDIR
Parameters: None.
Description: Shows the memory state. An example display shows the 'Directory of FLASH MEMORY' with files like 'Label1.LBL', 'Bus.IMG', 'Airplan.IMG', 'athena.IMG', 'Abc.IMG', 'A.FNT' (Chinese Traditional 16x16), and indicates '559104 byte(s) free'.

8. Save the TXT. File to Printer

Syntax: ~MSETT, name<CR>nnnnnnnn<data>
Parameters: name (name of saved file), nnnnnnnn (data size in 8 digits), data (data to be saved).

Parameters: name (name of saved file).
Description: Reads the saved file from the printer.

10. Print Last Label

Syntax: ~Px
Parameters: X (1-32767).
Description: Repeatedly prints the indicated copies of the last label format. If the format has serial number setting, the number continues with new label settings.

11. Row Offset Adjustment

Syntax: ~Q+x
Parameters: x (-36 to +36).
Description: Adjusts the label row offset position.

12. Rotate Printing

Syntax: ~Rx
Parameters: x (label width; from 1 to 104 mm).
Description: Rotates the label format 180-degrees when printing. To return to the original print direction, set x greater than 104.

1-4. EXAMPLE

To create a label, a combination of control, setup, and label format commands is required.

The ^L command precedes the beginning of the label format, and the E command signifies the end of the label format. Label format commands must be included between ^L and E. Control or setup commands used within the label command area will be ineffective.

Example Program (EX1.TXT)

This example program prints a label with EAN8. The program is a text file. The EZ-Series printer can be controlled by simply sending the text file content, regardless of the programming language used.

Program Command	Description
^Q25,3	Setting up the height 25mm, gap 3mm
^W32	Setting up the width 32mm
^H10	Setting up the darkness 10
^S6	Setting up the speed 6 inches per second
^P1	Setting up the number of printing 1
^E10	Setting up the paper advance length to 10 mm from the print head after printing. The label will move back 10 mm when the next label is printed.
^C1	Setting up the number of copies (start value is 1)
^O0	Setting up the auto stripper function to be turned OFF
^R0	Setting up the left margin 0 dot
^D0	Turning the cutting function off
^L	The label content of start symbol
BB,42,39,2,5,100,0,1,12345	Select EAN8 label, data content is 1234567 (See Chapter 2 section 2)
67
E	Label content of stop symbol

The label can be created using the MS-DOS command: C: ext>COPY EX1.TXT PRN:. To send the label to the serial port, use: C: ext>MODE COM1 96,N,8,1 and C: ext>TYPE EX1.TXT >> COM1.

Setting the x and y values:

Diagrams illustrate the coordinate system for label elements. The origin (0,0) is typically at the top-left. Examples show text 'abcd' and 'poqe' placed at different x,y coordinates and rotations (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°).

A. Barcode Details

1. Code 128

Syntax: BQ2, X, Y, NARROW, WIDE, HEIGHT, ROTATION, READABLE, DATA

Subset A: Includes standard uppercase alphanumeric keyboard characters, control, and special characters. To select Code 128 Subset A, place 'A' before the data to be encoded.

Subset B: Includes standard uppercase, lowercase alphanumeric keyboard characters, and special characters. To select Code 128 Subset B, place 'B' before the data to be encoded.

Subset C: Used for double density encoding of numeric data (the set of 100 digit pairs from 00 through 99). To select Code 128 Subset C, place 'C' before the data to be encoded.

Example:

BQ2,8,8,2,5,40,0,0,AAPPLE → Subset A
BQ2,8,8,2,5,40,0,0,BAPPLE → Subset B
BQ2,8,8,2,5,40,0,0,C1234 → Subset C
BQ2,8,8,2,5,40,0,0,Btest&D1234&FTEST → Subset A/B/C, sequence is B, C, A.

The following table compares ASCII characters to Code A, Code B, and Code C:
