Operational Modes

The KDU Plus is factory set to Auto-Detect the attached Zebra printer type. The KDU Plus

automatically sets the interface and modes to match the attached printer. The two

automatically detected modes that the KDU Plus defaults to are Forms and Terminal modes.

The KDU Plus has four basic modes of operation: Setup, Forms, Terminal, and File.

SETUP - After the printer has been attached to the KDU Plus, the KDU Plus can be

reconfigured to support a variety of different interface parameters including operational

modes, serial port settings, and data entry modes.

FORMS MODE - Designed to work with Zebra ZPL and EPL printer models. This mode

emulates earlier KDU models and Zebra EPL printer operations. The KDU Plus has added

support for ZPL printer operation. See the Forms Mode chapter for more details.

Note • Forms Mode is not designed to work with EPL Line Mode printer operations.
