Printer Parameters in the Driver
The recovery procedure requires a special computer file obtainable only from Zebra product
support. This file is downloaded to the printer, following which the replacement ID/Key is
inserted. The printer is then power cycled, off then on, at which point the key’s serial number
is recorded in NVRAM.
Printer Parameters in the Driver
ID/Code
The ID/Code, or password, synchronizes the driver
with the printer. This prevents use of the printer with a
PC not having the same ID/Code.The initial ID/Code
is assigned at the factory during manufacture. The
factory assigned code is located on a sticker on the
underside of the ID/Key. To change this code, select
Start > Printers (or Printers and Faxes). Right click
Zebra P630i, or Zebra P640i, then select Properties >
Device Settings > Control > Advanced Utilities.
In the
Change ID/Code window, enter the old password from
the underside of the ID/Key in the Old Password field.
Enter a new password in the New Password field, and
enter the same password in the Confirmation field. To
disable the ID/Code function, leave the New Password
and Confirmation fields blank. When completed, click
the OK button
Update Backup Config
Most of the parameters affecting operation of the printer are set up using the printer driver, and
are then saved in the printer’s flash memory as the current configuration. The original factory
configuration also resides in a separate backup memory, allowing you to recover the as-
shipped settings.
The Update Backup Config command instructs the printer to replace the factory
configuration with the current configuration, but do not do this casually. Once the current
configuration replaces the factory configuration, you can no longer return the printer to the
factory settings.
Restoring the Backup Configuration Settings
Revert to Backup Config as follows:
Step 1. Power OFF
Step 2. Remove the color ribbon
