Password-Protected Parameters
Certain parameters are password-protected by factory default, including the communication
parameters.
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 ZebraLink ™ WebView (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. To do this, set the password to 0000 by sending the ZPL/ZPL II command ^KPØ to
the printer. To reenable the password-protection feature, send the command ^KPx, where x
can be any number from 1 to 9999.
Note • If the parameters are set incorrectly, the printer may function unpredictably.
