Setup Mode

After you have installed the media and ribbon and the Power-On Self Test (POST) is complete, the control panel displays PRINTER READY. You may now set print engine parameters for

your application using the control panel display and the buttons directly below it. If it becomes necessary to restore the initial print engine defaults, see FEED and PAUSE Self Test

on page 126.

Important • Certain printing conditions may require that you adjust printing parameters, such as print speed, darkness, or print mode. These conditions include (but are not limited to):

•printing at high speeds•peeling the media•the use of extremely thin, small, synthetic, or coated labels

Because these and other factors affect print quality, run tests to determine the best combination of print engine settings and media for your application. A poor match may limit print quality or print rate, or the print engine may not function properly in the desired print mode.

Note • If the print engine is operating on an IP network and you have a ZebraNet wired or wireless print server, you can change the print engine’s parameters in these additional ways:

•with ZebraLink™ WebView. For information, see the appropriate print server user guide.

•with ZebraNet Bridge. For information, see the ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise Printer Management User Guide.
