Configuration Mode allows you to fine-tune the internal printer configuration settings for
your application. In this mode, you can change the following parameters:
• Printer darkness.
• Rest position of the media with respect to the web or inter-label gap.
• Position of printing relative to the top of the label.
• Media and ribbon sensor values.
• Label length.
• Printing method.
• Media type (continuous or non-continuous).
Create a printout of the printer configuration by performing the Cancel Key Self Test.
To set the printer configuration to factory defaults, refer to “Feed and Pause Key Factory
Default Reset” on page 2-19.
The ZPL II Programming Guide contains information on instructions that may be sent to
the printer to disable the Mode key and set specific label format values for each of these
parameters. If you are not using ZPL II, refer to the instructions provided with your
software to determine whether it allows you to change these parameters.

Differences in types of media, ribbon, and the wear on thermal printhead elements may
make it necessary to adjust the print darkness setting to achieve proper printing.
Note • Perform this procedure only if the manual calibration fails or if sensor
assemblies are replaced. A manual calibration must be performed after the ribbon
parameter calibration.
Note • A label automatically prints, showing the ribbon sensor profile.
