Printer languages

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.

LanguageTypeEvidence
ZPLDocumented emulation
Wasp's native language is WPL; ZPL EMULATION, and the vendor states it in two separate documents. User manual p.59: 'Note: ZPL is emulating for Zebra language.' The emulation is not hidden: section 6.4 ZPL2 of the manual defines a separate ZPL2 settings menu (Darkness, Print Speed, Tear Off, Print Mode, Print Width, List Fonts/Images). NO COVERAGE LIST, and the difference is notable: while the Printronix ZGL manual lists behaviour differences command by command, Wasp publishes ZEBRA'S OWN ZPL II manual as its ZPL reference — so NO Wasp document says which commands differ

What this means in practice

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 a single resolution (203 dpi), which removes one class of surprise: a label written for it always renders at the same physical size, and a design made for a 300 dpi printer will come out roughly twice as large here.

Anything positioned beyond 108 mm of print width will not appear on the label; the compatibility checker flags this for the ZPL job you paste.
