Password Protection of Parameters

Password Protection of Parameters

The printer has four levels of passwords. When you enter Setup mode on the control panel, only those parameters that are not password-protected are displayed. To see more parameters, you must enter an appropriate password at the ADVANCED SETUP prompt. After you enter a password correctly, you do not have to enter it again until you leave and reenter Setup mode.

When you are prompted for a password, enter the password for the level displayed or for a higher level. Entering a higher level password will unprotect the parameters for that level and for all levels below it (for example, unprotecting level 4 parameters also unprotects levels 1, 2, and 3).

The password levels and default passwords are shown in Table 7. To change the password for any level, use the ^KP ZPL II command. For more information, see ^KP, Define Password on page 112.
