Port Settings
Each of the KDU Plus’s serial communication ports must be configured properly to
communicate with your printer, PC or other input device (bar code scanner, scale, etc.). The
KDU Plus and Zebra desktop printers are configured to work together (by default) when using
the KDU Plus’s factory default settings.
The printer’s serial port communication settings can be verified by printing a status label. To
print a status label with EPL printers, see media length sensing or AutoSense or with ZPL
desktop printers, see Feed button modes. The KDU Plus’s COM/PRINTER settings should
match your printer’s status label.
When transferring files from the PC to the KDU Plus, the AUX2 port should be the primary
with the AUX1 as the secondary choice. The AUX2 port is the only port that can download
firmware updates for your KDU Plus.
When using additional input devices, such as bar code scanners, use the KDU Plus’s AUX1
port as the primary with the AUX2 as the secondary port. Fewer changes to your port
configuration setting will be needed to maintain forms, input devices and the KDU Plus.
