Conguration Status - Prints a detailed printer conguration status label. The label can be
used to verify printing, assist printer to computer communication conguration, maintenance,
troubleshooting, and help us with customer care communications.
*
**
Standard 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. The printer will feed one
to four labels.
Note: Users familiar with the Zebra EPL desktop printer use this Feed mode to replace power-
up AutoSensing calibration�

***
Serial Port Conguration - Applies only to printers with serial interface ports�
To reset the communication parameters. Press and release the Feed buon while the LED rapidly
ashes amber and green.
For autobaud synchronization: Send the ^XA^XZ command sequence to the printer while the LED
rapidly ashes amber and green. When the printer and host are synchronized, the LED changes to
solid green. NOTE: No labels will print during the autobaud synchronization.

Factory Defaults - Resets the printer to the default factory seings and modes. See the conguration
label for a list of the primary seings aected by this Feed Mode option. Other seings are exclusively
set, viewed and controlled by programming are also reset. The printer then performs a standard
media calibration.
Once the printer has entered the Factory Default mode, the status light will turn amber for three (3)
seconds. During that time you may do two things: Do nothing and the printer will reset the factory
defaults automatically as described above OR press and hold the Feed buon to enter a factory default
reset modes for printers with a network printer option. Releasing the buon after the rst ash resets
the network factory options only. Releasing the buon after the second ash sequence (two ashes)
will reset the printer defaults only. Releasing the buon after the third ash (three ashes) will reset
both the printer and network seings.

Print Width Adjustment - Prints a succession boxes starting at the minimum print width and ending
in the printer’s maximum print width in 4mm increments. Press the Feed buon once when the
printer has reached the desired maximum print width. Not that the printer driver and applications
can override this seing.

Print Darkness (Density) Adjustment - Prints a succession of bar code simulation paerns starting
at the minimum darkness (print density/heat) and ending in the printer’s maximum darkness in
increments of four (4) using the ZPL darkness seing range values. Press the Feed buon once the
paern is clear and legible. Do not continue to increase the darkness seing. Bar code line widths
may become distorted reducing readability. Note that the printer driver and applications can override
this seing.

Manual Media Calibration - The printer runs extensive tests to detect and set media type and media
length, and then it adjusts the media sensors for optimal performance with the installed media.
Manual calibration is recommended whenever you are using pre-printed media, print on the liner or if
the printer will not correctly auto calibrate. A graphical prole of the media sensing will print.
If the feed buon remains pressed after a 8-ash sequence, the printer exits the conguration mode when the Feed buon
is released�
