SGD Printer Setting
Commands
This chapter provides a high-level overview of printer setting Set / Get / Do (SGD)
commands. For printer support of these SGD commands, see SGD Command Support
on page 315.
Important • These are important points to note when using EPL, ZPL, and SGD commands:
• SGD commands are case-sensitive.
• EPL, ZPL, and SGD commands should be sent to the printer as separate files.
• Certain settings can be controlled by both EPL, ZPL, and SGD. Configuration changes
made in EPL or ZPL can affect configuration changes made in SGD.
• Changes made with one command type (EPL, ZPL, or SGD) will affect the data returned
to the host in response to both EPL, ZPL, and getvar commands. The command type (EPL,
ZPL, or SGD) that was sent last determines the current setting.
• Some RF cards do not support all of the SGD commands.
Important • These are important points to note when using a Zebra G-Series printer:
• You can send instructions to the printer using multiple programming languages: EPL,
ZPL, or SGD. EPL and ZPL commands configure the printer, print labels, and get device
status information. SGD commands set and get configuration details. These three
languages can be used without the need to send the printer instructions to switch from one
language to another.
• EPL, ZPL, and SGD commands must be sent to the printer as separate files. They cannot
be used together in one format, or set of commands. For example, if you send a series of
SGD commands to the printer and they are followed by a printable format, this needs to
be done using separate files.
