Once the printer has entered the Factory Default mode, the status light will turn amber for three (3) seconds. It then performs a standard media calibration and then a memory defragmentation routine. Other settings, which are exclusively set, viewed, and controlled by programming, are also reset. Some configuration settings are not returned to their initial ‘out of box’ settings. See Appendix: ZPL Configuration on page 83 for a description of the primary configuration settings and their associated ZPL commands. NOTE: No labels will print during autobaud synchronization.įactory Defaults- Resets the printer to the factory default settings (equivalent to ZPL command ^JUN). When the printer and host are synchronized, the LED changes to solid green.

Note: Users familiar with the Zebra EPL desktop printer use this Feed mode to replace power-up AutoSensing calibration (equivalent EPL command XA). The printer will feed one to four labels while calibrating. Standard Auto Media Calibration- The printer detects and sets media type and media length, and it adjusts the media sensors for optimal performance with the installed media (equivalent ZPL command ~JC). The label can be used to verify printing, assist printer to computer communication configuration, maintenance, troubleshooting, and help with customer care communications. NOTE: The asterisk (*) characters above each section represent the number of flashes/sequences you must hold down the feed button to reach each Action.Ĭonfiguration Status- Prints a detailed printer configuration status label. For example, if I held the feed button down continuously, I would see in order: Press and hold the feed button for several seconds, and the green “status” LED will flash a number of times in sequence.īelow are the descriptions of each of the Flash Sequence Actions that result from holding the feed button for different lengths of time.Īs you hold the feed button down, the green LED will flash the same number of times as the sequence that you are currently on.

Turn the printer on and ensure the top cover is closed.
