Changing Password-Protected Parameters
Certain parameters are password protected by factory default.
NOTE: You have the option of making ALL parameters password
protected. See “PASSWORD LEVEL” on page 52.
CAUTION: Do not change password-protected parameters unless you are
sure you know what you are doing! If they are set incorrectly, these
parameters could cause the printer to function in an unpredictable way.
The first attempt to change one of these parameters will require you to enter a
four-digit password. This is done via the “ENTER PASSWORD” display. The
DECREMENT (-) key changes the selected digit position. The INCREMENT (+)
key increases the selected digit value. After entering the password, press the
SELECT key. The parameter you wish to change will be displayed. If the password
was entered correctly, you can now change the value.
The default password value is 1234. The password can be changed using the ^KP
(Define Password) ZPL II instruction.
NOTE: Once the password has been entered correctly, it will not
have to be entered again unless you leave and re-enter the
programming mode using the SETUP/EXIT key.
NOTE: You can disable the password protection feature so that it no
longer prompts you for a password by setting the password to ØØØØ
via the ^KPØ ZPL/ZPL II command. To re-enable the
password-protection feature, send the ZPL/ZPL II command ^KPx,
where “x” can be any number, one to four digits in length, except Ø.
