I'm trying to change the "device.languages" attribute on a zebra ZT230 label printer with firmware: V72.19.6Z using the Zebra Setup Utilities Direct communication function.

The command the i send to the printer is the following:

! U1 setvar "device.languages" "epl_zpl"

followed by a newline character

but when I send the command: ! U1 getvar "device.languages" the value has not been changed.

I'm connecting to the printer through LAN on port 9100 and the attribute "device.command_override.list" on the printer is not set.

I'm launching the command in the wrong manner or there is some protection mechanism that I'm not aware of?

Have you tried:

! UTILITIES
! U1 setvar "device.languages" "epl_zpl"
PRINT

or 

! U1 setvar "device.languages" "epl_zpl"
PRINT

We contacted Zebra Support and they stated that the model ZT230 with the 300 DPI head didn't support the epl_zpl language.

the last model of the series with the support of the epl_zpl language is the one with the 203 DPI head.

with the printer ZT230 203DPI the command:

! U1 setvar "device.languages" "epl_zpl"

worked fine.
