Changing Password-Protected Parameters

Certain parameters, including the communication parameters, are password-protected by factory default.

Caution • Do not change password-protected parameters unless you have a complete understanding of the parameters’ functions. If the parameters are set incorrectly, the printer may function unpredictably.

The first time that you attempt to change a password-protected parameter, the printer displays ENTER PASSWORD. Before you can change the parameter, you must enter the four-digit

numeric password. After you have entered the password correctly, you do not have to enter it again unless you leave Setup mode by pressing SETUP/EXIT or by turning off (O) the printer.

To enter a password for a password-protected parameter, complete these steps:

1.At the password prompt, use MINUS (-)to change the selected digit position.

2.When you have selected the digit that you wish to change, use PLUS (+) to increase the selected digit value. Repeat these two steps for each digit of the password.

3.After entering the password, press SELECT.

The parameter you selected to change is displayed. If the password was entered correctly, you can change the value.

Default Password Value

The default password value is 1234. The password can be changed using the Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) command ^KP (Define Password) or using the printer’s web pages (ZebraNet wired or wireless print server required).

Disable the Password Protection Feature

You can disable the password protection feature so that it no longer prompts you for a password by setting the password to 0000 via the ^KP ZPL command. To re-enable the password-protection feature, send the ZPL command ^KPx, where x can be any number from 1 to 9999.
