Please use ! U1 getvar "device.languages" to check what the printer language setting is on the printer. Most likely, it was accidentally set to line print mode. If it is line print mode, we need to use ! U1 setvar "device.languages" "epl" to set it back to EPL if we want to print EPL.

Chris Southall Feb 9, 2018 8:06 AM (in response to Steven Si)Hi Steven,
If from the Zebra Setup Utility, from the 'Open Communication With Printer' window I enter ! U1 getvar "device.languages" in the top text area, when I click Send To Printer, the machine just prints the string ! U1 getvar "device.languages". Likewise for ! U1 setvar.

Then you could use Zebra Setup Utility -> Configure Printer Settings to set the printer language.

there is no option to change the printer language that I can see. There is a ZPL Mode which is set to ZPL II.

Chris Southall Feb 12, 2018 3:18 AM (in response to Chris Southall)Any suggestions as to how I take the machine out of line mode, if commands such as ! U1 getvar "device.languages" are interpreted as text and just printed rather than effecting a change ?
