Connections
Connecting the Printer to the Host
9/24/2010 KR403 Hardware Integrator Guide P1016701-001 Rev. B
Serial communications between the printer and the host computer can be set by:
• Autobaud synchronization
• ZPL programming ^SC command
• Resetting the printer to its default printer configuration.
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 the ^XA^XZ command sequence to the printer.
3. When the printer and host are synchronized, the LED changes to solid green. (No
receipts will print during Autobaud synchronization.)
ZPL ^SC Command
Use the Set Communications (^SC) command to change the communications settings on
the printer.
1. With the host computer set at the same communications settings as the printer, send
the ^SC command to change the printer to the desired settings.
2. Change the host computer settings to match the new printer settings.
Refer to the Software Integrator Guide (P1026208) for more information about this
command.
Resetting the Default Serial Port Parameters
Do the following to reset the communications parameters on the printer to the factory
defaults (serial communication settings are: 115k baud, 8 bit word length, NO parity, 1
stop bit, and XON/XOFF data flow control).
1. Press and hold the feed button until the green status LED flashes once, waits a
moment and flashes twice, and then waits again before flashing three times (release
immediately).
2. While the status LED rapidly flashes amber and green, press the feed button.
Serial communications between the printer and the host computer can be set by the
ZPL ^SC command.
