Native means the printer's own language. Emulation means a separate, manufacturer-documented mode that accepts another vendor's language — useful, but not the same thing.

| ZPL | Documented emulation ZGL is Printronix's Zebra ZPL interpreter; the manual's own title is 'ZGL, a Zebra ZPL Printer Protocol Interpreter'. Not on by default (Active IGP Emul is set to ZGL), a compatibility mode is selected (ZPL-I / ZPL-II, factory ZPL-II) and coverage is not one-to-one: the manual lists behaviour differences and per-command 'Ignore' settings | VENDOR_EMULATION_DOCUMENTATION Source · 2026-09-18 |
This model accepts ZPL through a manufacturer-documented emulation mode. Emulations are generally good, but they are a separate mode: coverage and edge-case behaviour can differ from the native language, and no vendor promises byte-identical output. Test the specific label you intend to print.
This body ships in more than one resolution (203/300 dpi). ZPL coordinates are in dots, so a label designed for one resolution comes out at a different physical size on another — check which unit you actually have before sending production jobs.
Anything positioned beyond 166.4 mm of print width will not appear on the label; the compatibility checker flags this for the ZPL job you paste.
