Setup Mode

After you have installed the media and ribbon and the Power-On Self Test (POST) is complete, the control panel displays PRINTER READY. You may now set printer parameters for your application using the control panel display and the buttons directly below it. If it becomes necessary to restore the initial printer defaults, see FEED and PAUSE Self Test on page 138.

Important • Certain printing conditions may require that you adjust printing parameters, such as print speed, darkness, or print mode. These conditions include (but are not limited to):

•printing at high speeds•peeling the media•the use of extremely thin, small, synthetic, or coated labels

Because these and other factors affect print quality, run tests to determine the best combination of printer settings and media for your application. A poor match may limit print quality or print rate, or the printer may not function properly in the desired print mode.

Note • If the printer is operating on an IP network, you can change the printer’s parameters in these additional ways:

•with ZebraLink™ WebView (ZebraNet 10/100 PrintServer, PSII, or Wireless Print Server required). For information, see the appropriate print server user guide.

•with the SetWLAN configuration utility or the ZebraNet Bridge Wireless Setup Wizard (ZebraNet Wireless Print Server required). For information, see the ZebraNet Wireless Print Server User Guide.
