10 This includes all ZPL commands and SGD : These are important points to note when using ZPL and SGD commands: ZPL and SGD commands should be sent to the printer as separate files. Certain settings can be controlled by both ZPL and SGD. Configuration changes made in ZPL can affect configuration changes made in SGD. To contact Zebra or for technical support, visit can find the printer s firmware version by printing a configuration label. For instructions to do so, see your printer s user Guide .
