Configuration Setting to Command Cross-reference

The printer configuration report provides a listing of a majority of the printer configurations settings that can be set using ZPL commands.
Use the printer configuration report to understand the settings that influence printer behaviors and the majority of the configuration settings that can be set using ZPL or SGD commands.
Some of the sensor values in the middle of the report are used primarily used for service purposes.
The label shown is a sample label. Your printer model's label may vary.

From this point in the printer configuration report, listed are the sensor settings and values you can use to troubleshoot sensor and media operations. These are typically used by Zebra Technical Support to diagnose printer problems.
The configuration settings listed here are listed on the Printer Configuration Report after the TAKE LABEL sensor value. This listing includes commands that are:
  • used to generate status information, or
  • relate to printer features whose settings are seldom changed from their defaults.

The printer can set a command or a group of commands at one (1) time for all receipts or labels that follow. Those settings remain in effect until:
  • they are changed by subsequent commands
  • the printer is reset, or
  • you restore the printer to its factory defaults.
