Configuration and Calibration
After you have installed the media and ribbon, plugged in and turned on the AC Power, and the
printer has completed the Power On Self Test (POST), you may configure the printer parameters for
your application using the Liquid Crystal Display and the control panel keys. Not all choices pertain
to all applications. Choose only those settings that apply to your particular application.
NOTE: To restore the printer’s factory defaults, see “Leaving the Program
Mode” below or refer to “FEED Key and PAUSE Key” in the “Troubleshooting”
section of this guide.

Changing Password-Protected Parameters
Certain parameters, indicated by an illustration of a key after the title, are password
protected. The first attempt to change one of these parameters (pressing one of the black oval keys)
will require a password to be entered. This is done via the ENTER PASSWORD display.
ENTER PASSWORD
® 0000 +
The left oval key changes the digit position. The right oval key increases the digit value. After
entering the password, press the NEXT key. The parameter you were trying to change will be
displayed. If the password was entered correctly, you can now change the value.
The default password value is 1234. A new password can be configured by sending an appropriate
^KP (Define Password) ZPL II instruction to the printer.
NOTE: Once the password has been entered correctly, it will not have to be entered
again until leaving and re-entering the programming mode using the SETUP/EXIT key.
Leaving the Program Mode
Press the SETUP/EXIT key to leave the Program Mode. The display will show SAVE SETTINGS .
There are five choices: Permanent, Temporary, Cancel, Load Defaults, and Load Last Save.
SAVE SETTINGS
¬ PERMANENT ®
Pressing the left or right oval key changes the choices. Pressing the NEXT key activates the displayed
choice. Pressing PREVIOUS returns you to the last prompt.
Permanent — saved values are permanently stored in the printer even when the power is OFF.
Temporary — saves the new changes until changed again or until the power is turned OFF.
