Selecting the Printer Command Language
The PD41 and PD42 printers come loaded with five different printer
command languages. On the PD42 printer, you select the command
language the first time you power up the printer. For more
information see the following procedure.
The PD41 printer always starts up using the Fingerprint printer
language because it does not have a screen to select the command
language. You will need to use the printer home page or PrintSet to
choose a printer command language. For help, see “Configuring the
Printer From the Home Page” on page 38 or “Configuring the
Printer Using PrintSet” on page 52.
The language you select automatically runs each time you turn on
your printer. The printer language you choose affects the
functionality of the printer and how you interact with it.
