Configuration Status—The printer prints a detailed printer configuration status label. Use this label to:

|
|
Standard Auto Media Calibration—The printer detects and sets media type and media length and adjusts the media sensors for optimal performance with the installed media. This method of calibration is the equivalent of issuing the ~JC ZPL command. The printer feeds one to four labels while calibrating. Users familiar with the Zebra EPL desktop printer can use this FEED mode to replace power-up auto-sensing calibration. This method of calibration is the equivalent of issuing the XA EPL command. |
|
Serial Port Configuration—Applies only to printers with serial interface ports. To reset serial port communication parameters, except for Flow Control, press and release FEED while the LED rapidly flashes amber and green. For autobaud synchronization, send the ^XA^XZ command sequence to the printer when the LED is rapidly flashing amber and green. When the printer and host are synchronized, the indicator lights up a steady green. Labels do not print during autobaud synchronization. |
|
Factory Defaults—Resets the printer to the factory default settings. This is the equivalent of issuing the ^JUN ZPL command. See ZPL Configuration for a description of the primary configuration settings and their associated ZPL commands. Some configuration settings are not returned to their initial out-of-box printer settings. Other settings are exclusively set, viewed, and controlled by programming and are also reset. This performs a standard media calibration and then a memory defragmentation routine. When the printer has entered Factory Default mode, the status light turns amber for three seconds. During that time you can: Do nothing to let the printer reset the factory defaults automatically as described above, OR For printers that have a network print option such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth. press and hold FEED to enter Factory Default Reset mode. This is the equivalent of issuing the ^JUF ZPL command.
During this sequence, releasing the button after the first flash resets only the network factory options. This is the equivalent of issuing the ^JUN ZPL command. Releasing the button after the second flash sequence (two flashes) resets only the printer defaults. Releasing FEED after the third flash sequence (three flashes) resets both printer and network settings. This is the equivalent of issuing the ^JUN and ^JUF ZPL commands. |
|
Print Width Adjustment—Prints a succession of boxes starting at the minimum print width and ending in the printer’s maximum print width in 4-mm increments. Press FEED once after the printer has reached the desired maximum print width. The printer driver and applications can override this setting. |
|
Print Darkness (Density) Adjustment—Prints a succession of barcode simulation patterns starting at the minimum darkness (print density/heat) and ending in the printer’s maximum darkness in increments of four using the ZPL darkness setting range values. Press FEED one time when the pattern is clear and legible. Continuing to increase the darkness setting or barcode line widths may distort the print output, thereby reducing readability. The printer driver and applications can override this setting. |
******* (the seventh flash) |
Manual Media Calibration—The printer runs extensive tests to detect and set media type and media length. It then adjusts the media sensors for optimal performance with the installed media. This is the equivalent of issuing the ~JG ZPL command. Manual calibration is recommended whenever you are using pre-printed media, there is print on the liner, or if the printer will not correctly auto-calibrate. A graphical profile of the media sensing operation will print. See Manual Calibration for details and considerations. |
To exit Configuration Mode, keep FEED pressed until after the seventh flash sequence cycle ends, then release FEED . |
