Password-Protected Parameters
Certain parameters are password-protected by factory default, including the communication
parameters.
The first attempt to change a pa ssword-protected parameter (pressing the plus (+) or minus (–)
key) requires you to enter a four-digit password at the
ENTER PASSWORD
display. The (–)
key changes the selected digit position; the (+) key increases the select ed 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 param eter, 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 (–) key to change the selected digit posi tion.
2. When you have selected the digit that you wish to change, use the (+) key 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 yo u sel ecte d to chang e is display ed . If th e password was entered correct ly,

Password) ZPL II instruction or through ZebraLink

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.
Note • If the parameters are set incorrectly, the printer may function unpredic tab ly.
