Password-Protect All Parameters To password protect all parameters, send the ^KP ZPL II command with a password for each level.

Disable Passwords To disable the password-protection feature for a particular level and those below it, set the password to 0000 using the ^KP ZPL II command. To reenable the password-protection feature, send the ZPL II command with any non-zero number for a password.

Return to Default Passwords If you forget your passwords, the printer can be returned to the default factory settings, which makes the default passwords valid again. Use caution when returning the passwords to their default values because this also sets all other printer parameters back to their defaults.

To return the printer to the default factory settings using ZPL, send this command:

^XA

^JUF

^XZ
