f. The following printer query commands can be sent directly via the KDU Plus in Terminal

Mode to the printer.

For EPL:

and press the Enter key.

For ZPL printers:

~HS

The printer will respond and update the KDU Plus display if it is now able to

communicate.

Enter Setup Mode and select the Operational Modes. Change the mode to match the

appropriate printer Forms Mode (EPL or ZPL). Check the Forms Mode ‘Printer Status’.

Press the F2 function key to test basic Forms Mode communication. Did it print?

g. If the printer is still not automatically detected by the KDU Plus and is not responding to

Terminal Mode query commands (step f), then the printer serial port operation should be

verified by sending the commands via Hyper terminal or command files directly to the

printer. For information on setting the PC’s serial port settings see Port Settings

on page 17 for more details. If the printer responds similarly to the Hyper Terminal

command queries as shown above (step f), then the KDU is not communicating. Contact
