Printer Parameters in the Driver

ID/Code

The ID/Code, or password, synchronizes the driver

with the printer. This prevents use of the printer with a

PC not having the same ID/Code.

The initial ID/Code is assigned at the factory during

manufacture. The factory assigned code is located on

a sticker on the underside of the ID/Key.

To change this code, select Start > Printers (or

Printers and Faxes). Right click Zebra P630i, or

Zebra P640i, then select Properties > Device Settings

> Control > Advanced Utilities.

In the Change ID/Code window, enter the old password from the underside of the ID/Key in

the Old Password field. Enter a new password in the New Password field, and enter the same

password in the Confirmation field.

To disable the ID/Code function, leave the New Password and Confirmation fields blank.

When completed, click the OK button

Update Backup Config

Most of the parameters affecting operation of the printer are set up using the printer driver, and

are then saved in the printer’s flash memory as the current configuration. The original factory

configuration also resides in a separate backup memory, allowing you to recover the as-

shipped settings.

The Update Backup Config command instructs the printer to replace the factory

configuration with the current configuration, but do not do this casually. Once the current

configuration replaces the factory configuration, you can no longer return the printer to the

factory settings.

Restoring the Backup Configuration Settings

Revert to Backup Config as follows:

Step 1. Turn power

OFF.

Step 2. Remove the color ribbon.

Step 3. Press and hold the

PRINT, RIBBON, and LAMINATE buttons at the same time as you

switch on the power.

Step 4. Release the three buttons when you see activity in the printer.
