ZQ210 printing zpl as text and not changing device.languages

I have a ZQ210 and I am trying to print the following command with ZPL

^XA^F0100,100^BY3
^BCN,100,Y,N,N
^FD2020100020003000^XZ

After trying out different techniques to print, I discovered that my printer is in line feed mode, so I followed the manual and used Zebra Setup Utility and checked if it supported it with ! U1 getvar "allcv" the output had this

netmanage.
zpl.
scanner.
line_print.
line_print.buffer_height : 32767 , Choices: 412-32767
apl.
ezpl.
ezpl.power_up_action : feed , Choices: feed,no motion
ezpl.head_close_action : no motion , Choices: feed,no motion

So I followed this tutorial, and my printer still doesn't print ZPL, infact when I try the recalibrate command on it it simply prints the zpl as text.

On page 8 of the printer manual it says

This printer uses CPCL programming language.

The ZQ210 does not accept ZPL, printing with CPCL worked.
