^KP

The

 command is used to define the password that must be entered to access the control panel switches and LCD Setup Mode.

Parameters
Details
a =
 mandatory four-digit password
Values:
 any four-digit numeric sequence
Default:

b = password level
Values:
 1, 2, 3, 4
Default:

The
b
 parameter applies only to the S4M printers.
Example:
 This example shows how to set a new control panel password:
^XA
^KP5678
^XZ
Example:
 This example shows how to set a new control panel password (5678) at a specific password level (level 2) (applicable to the S4M printer only):
^XA
^KP5678,2
^XZ
Comments:
 If you forget your password, the printer can be returned to a default Setup Mode and the default password 1234 is valid again. Caution should be used, however — this also sets the printer configuration values back to their defaults.
To return the printer to the default factory settings using ZPL, send this:
^XA
^JUF
^XZ
To return the printer to the default factory settings using the control panel keys, see your printer’s User Guide for the procedure.
