Resolution / Answer

The Command Prefix is required when using ZPL to allow the printer to identify commands. The default Format Prefix is "^" caret and the default Command Prefix is "~" Tilde. These defaults are typically used in applications but may need to be changed when in specific environments such as when used with an IBM host such as an AS400. If it needs to be altered you can use these instructions for modifying these commands.
