Serial Communications

Serial communications between the printer and the host computer can be set
by either autobaud synchronization or the ^SC command.

Autobaud

Autobaud synchronization allows the printer to automatically match the
communication parameters of the host computer. To autobaud:

1. Press and hold the feed button until the green status LED flashes once,

twice, and then three times.

2. While the status LED flashes, send a ZPL II format to the printer.

3. When the printer and host are synchronized, the LED changes to solid

green. (No labels will print during autobaud synchronization.)
