The Configuration Mode allows you to fine-tune the internal
printer configuration settings for your application. In this mode,
you can change the following parameters:
• Printing darkness
• Rest position of the media with respect to the “web” or
“interlabel gap”
• Position of printing relative to the top of the label
• Media and Ribbon Sensor values
• Label length
• Printing method
• Media type (continuous or non-continuous)
You can get a printout of the printer configuration (the values for
each of these parameters) at any time by performing the CANCEL
Key Self Test (See Chapter 3).
If it is ever necessary to reset the printer configuration to the
factory defaults, refer to the “FEED Key and PAUSE Key” Self
Test description in Chapter 7.
The ZPL II Programming Guide contains information on
instructions which may be sent to the printer to disable the
MODE key and set specific label format values for each of these
parameters. If you are not using ZPL II, refer to the instructions
provided with your software package to determine if you also
have this capability.
IMPORTANT: Perform the Calibration Procedure when media and
ribbon are first installed and each time a different type of
media or ribbon is installed.
During this procedure, the printer automatically determines the
media type, label length, media and ribbon sensor settings, and
printing method. Media type is determined by sensing either
continuous or non-continuous media as blank labels move through
