Changing Password-Protected Parameters 
Certain parameters are password-protected by factory default.
CAUTION: Do not change password-protected parameters unless you are sure you know what you are doing! If they are set incorrectly, these parameters could cause the printer to function in an unpredictable way.
The first attempt to change one of these parameters (pressing one of the BLACK OVAL keys) will require you to enter a four-digit password. This is done via the “ENTER PASSWORD” display. The LEFT BLACK OVAL key changes the selected digit position. The RIGHT BLACK OVAL key increases the selected digit value. After entering the password, press the NEXT/SAVE key. The parameter you wish to change will be displayed. If the password was entered correctly, you can now change the value.
The default password value is 1234. The password can be changed using the ^KP (Define Password) ZPL II instruction or through ZebraNet WebView (optional ZebraNet PrintServer II required).
NOTE: Once the password has been entered correctly, it will not have to be entered again unless you leave and re-enter the programming mode using the SETUP/EXIT key.
NOTE: You can disable the password protection feature so that it no longer prompts you for a password by setting the password to
ØØØØvia the ^KPØ ZPL/ZPL II command. To re-enable the password-protection feature, send the ZPL/ZPL II command ^KPx, where “x” can be any number, one to four digits in length, except Ø.
