Password-Protected Parameters

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

Note • If the parameters are set incorrectly, the printer may function unpredictably.

The first attempt to change a password-protected parameter (pressing one of the ovals) requires you to enter a four-digit password at the ENTER PASSWORD display. The left oval changes the selected digit position; the right oval increases the selected digit value. After entering the password, press NEXT/SAVE. The parameter you wish to change is displayed. If the password was entered correctly, you can now change the value.

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 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 the printer Off (O).

To Enter a Password for a Password-Protected Parameter, complete these steps:

1.At the password prompt, use the left oval to change the selected digit position.

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

3.After entering the password, press NEXT/SAVE.

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 ^KP (Define Password) ZPL II instruction or through ZebraLinkWebView (ZebraNet® PrintServer II 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 ^KPØ ZPL/ZPL II command. To reenable the password-protection feature, send the ZPL/ZPL II command ^KPx, where x can be any number from 1 to 9999.
