S84NX / S86NX - How to Switch Emulation

The SATO S84NX / 86NX print engines have standard emulations on-board for SBPL (SATO),

SZPL (Zebra), SDPL (Datamax) or SIPL (Intermec) printer languages. By default the printer is

configured to “AUTO” detect the print language. For final optimization it is best practice to

select a single print language or narrow down the emulation options using the “Auto Switch

Group”.

 

This procedure will allow you to select the Emulation mode (printer language) to use on the

S84NX/86NX print engine models:

 

1. From the main menu, enter the [Settings] Menu and select [Applications].

2. Select [Protocol] to enable a specific emulation mode; or choose AUTO to have it

automatically detect the print language.

3. Once the protocols selected, the active protocol will be displayed on the home screen in the window of the print engine icon. *Changing to AUTO will require a reboot. *

4. While in AUTO mode, you can click “Auto Switch Group” to enable or disable individual print languages. This enables the user to narrow down the available emulations in AUTO mode.
