Certain parameters are password protected by factory default.
NOTE: You have the option of making all parameters password protected. See “PASSWORD LEVEL” on page 52 for details.
CAUTION: Do not change password-protected parameters unless you are sure you know what you are doing! If set incorrectly, these parameters could cause the printer to function in an unpredictable way.
The first attempt to change a password-protected parameter requires you to enter a four-digit password at the “ENTER PASSWORD” display. The DECREMENT (–) key changes the selected digit position. The INCREMENT (+) key increases the selected digit value. After entering the password, press the SELECT key. The parameter you wish to change is 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.
NOTE: Once the password has been entered correctly, it does 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 ØØØØ via 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 that is one to four digits in length, except Ø.
