Overview
Change Password-Protected Parameters
Certain parameters are password-protected by factory default. If you press SELECT when a
password-protected parameter is displayed on the front panel, the printer prompts you for a
password. If you do not know the password, press SETUP/EXIT to leave the prompt. You will
not be allowed to modify the parameter without entering the password.
The default password is 1234. You can change the password using the
^KP (Define Password)
ZPL II command.
Password-Protect All Parameters You have the option of making all parameters
password protected. Refer to the Password Level parameter for details.
Disable Password You can disable the password protection feature to no longer prompt for
a password by setting the password to
ØØØØ via the ^KPØ ZPL/ZPL II command. To
reenable the password-protection feature, send the ZPL/ZPL II command
^KPx, where x can
be any number that is one to four digits in length, except
Ø (zero).
To enter a password, complete these steps:
1. From the front panel, enter a four-digit password at the
ENTER PASSWORD
prompt.
• MINUS (–) changes the selected digit position.
• PLUS (+) increases value of the selected digit.
2. After entering the password, press SELECT.
The parameter that you selected is displayed, and the value may be modified if the
password was entered correctly.
Note • After you enter the password correctly, you do not have to enter it again until you leave
and reenter the configuration mode.
