From this point in the Configuration Receipt listing, the printout lists sensor settings and values which can be used to troubleshoot sensor and media operations. These are typically used by Zebra Tech Support to diagnose printer problems.
The configuration settings listed here resume 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 ZPL Commands and Configuration Receipt Callout cross-reference is listed below..

The printer can set a command or a group of commands at one 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.
