Resetting the Printer to Factory Default Settings

Resetting the printer back to Factory settings will set the printers non-volatile memory back to a known condition. To reset the printer to its factory defaults:

1.Printer must be powered On.

2.Press and hold the “FEED” button for about 10 seconds.

3.The “READY” LED will turn off.

4.Release the “FEED” button.

5.The Power LED will then turn off for about 2 seconds after that.

6.When both LED’s turn on again, the printer is reset to the factory default condition.

Note: All settings are stored in non-volatile memory and will not be erased even by turning the printer off. After a reset, send to the printer the appropriate commands to re-configure the printer's software to the appropriate installed options, and run the Label Sensor Calibration test.

Entering into HEX Print mode

Hex Print mode is a valuable tool for solving programming print issues. It can be used to determine if the printer is receiving the correct information and if the printer is receiving any extra control codes.

Note: Hex mode is only available when PPLB emulation is installed.

1.Make sure that media is installed.

2.Power the printer on while pressing the button on the front panel.

3.The printer will begin the Label Sensor Calibration test.

4.Continue to hold the Feed key until the Self Test begins

5.After feeding 12 inches of blank media, the printer will begin printing out the current configuration and font list.

6.The printer will then enter into Hex Print mode.

7.To exit the Hex mode, press the Feed button again.
