^CD — Change Delimiter

Changes the delimiter — the character that separates command parameters, a comma by default.

What it does

After ^CD; (or ~CD;) the parameters of every following command are separated by semicolons: ^FO10;10 instead of ^FO10,10. Use it when your data or toolchain needs the comma for something else.

The guide notes that the change has to be saved with ^JUS to persist (for example ~CD; followed by ^XA^JUS^XZ).

In the preview

This command changes the printed label, but Labelixa's preview does not apply it yet. The linter reports it as ZPL1002, so you know the preview and the print will differ.

Example

^XA
^CD;
^FO10;10
^GB10;10;3^FS
^XZ

The guide's own example: the box is drawn with semicolons between its parameters.
