Autobaud
Autobaud synchronization allows the printer to automatically match the
communication parameters of the host computer. To autobaud:
1. Press and hold the feed button until the green status LED flashes once,
twice, and then three times.
2. While the status LED flashes, send a ZPL II format to the printer.
3. When the printer and host are synchronized, the LED changes to solid
green. (No labels will print during autobaud synchronization.)
