It will read and print the label format, but you need to download and choose a different driver for the other printer. Seagull Scientific makes the drivers for Datamax, so visit their site for the most recent versions. you will need to open your label format in your software, duplicate the label format and choose the new driver for the I-4212.

Zpl emulation with datamax i-4208
You can't, on this obsolete model. zpl is "Zebra Printer Language." This model of Datamax is dpl only ("Datamax Printer Language"). Most current models of Datamax printers are dpl and zpl compatible.

LATELY WHEN PRINTING ON THE DATAMAX I-4212 THE LABELS MOVE TO THE SIDE EVEN THOUGH THE MEDIA GIDE IS IN PLACE.
If the media is trying to walk to the side there is too much head pressure on that side. Adjust the green knobs on top of the print head. Lessen the pressure on the side it is trying to go or add pressure to the other to balance the head pressure.

Will not feed full length of label. display reads "ribbon fault" datamax i-4208
You may need to take out the whole ribbon assembly by removing 3 screws. The ribbon sensor looks like a L shaped clear plastic glass.

If still not working. buy the ribbon assembly.

Datamax I4208
position fault is normally a problem with either the formatting or the printer is not calibrated correctly.
Hold the feed button down until at least 3 labels pass by the sensor.
Also check to see the sensor is directly over the die cut on the label if more than 1 up label

Datamax i - 4208
If you use ms-access you must have installed the windows driver, therefore you must enable the cutter in the printer properties. Position fault is that it does not detect the label, must be press the FEED key or to calibrate, press the FEED key for 5 seconds to calibrate the sensor label.

Datamax problem
You probably need to adjust the leveling cam if you have not done so already. This is the green thumbscrew near the print mechanism.
