Bank 2

These switches can manually override any ZPL II commands that affect print mode, media mode, and media type. They can also override settings established during the calibration procedure. Reasons why you might want to use these override switches:

•Troubleshooting. By using these switches, you know beyond a doubt what operating mode your printer is in.

•Lets you use a single ZPL II label format for many different printers—without worrying if the format contains a mode command that is inappropriate for your printer configuration.

•Some third-party label design software pack- ages work better if these switches control the mode.

If you do not want to override ZPL II or the calibration settings, disable one or more of the override options by setting switches 1, 4, and/or 7 to the R (OFF) position and turning the power ON. With these disabled, the printer will require ZPL II commands and/or re-calibration to set print mode, media mode, and/or media type.

To override, set the switches to one of the modes shown in the table. If you are in the process of printing, this change takes effect on the next label printed. If you change the switches from active to disabled after printer power-up, the printer remains in the current mode until a ZPL II command or re-calibration changes the mode.

105Se Note: Switch 5 must not be positioned to the right unless the printer is equipped with the optional black mark sensor.
