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 print engine parameters for
your application using the control panel display and the buttons directly below it. If it becomes
necessary to restore the initial print engine defaults, see PAUSE Self Test on page 110 and
FEED Self Test on page 111.
Enter Setup Mode
To enter Setup Mode, complete these steps:
1. Press SETUP/EXIT.
2. Press NEXT or PREVIOUS to scroll through the parameters.
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 print engine settings and media for your application. A poor match may limit
print quality or print rate, or the print engine may not function properly in the desired print
mode.
Note • If the print engine is operating on an IP network, you can change the print engine’s
parameters in these additional ways:
• with ZebraLink™ WebView (ZebraNet
®
10/100 PrintServer or ZebraNet Wireless Print
Server required). For information, see the appropriate print server user guide.
• with the SetWLAN configuration utility (ZebraNet Wireless Print Server required). For
information, see the ZebraNet Wireless Print Server User Guide.
