Parameters for V53.15.x, R53.16.x, or later Firmware
(ZM400, ZM600, RZ400, and RZ600 Printers)
Firmware Requirements Table 11 shows the wireless parameters that may be viewed or
modified through the printer’s control panel.
Wireless Password Some of the parameters can be password-protected by a wireless
password. By default, the wireless print servers run in an “unprotected” mode (password set to
0000), which means that you do not need to enter a wireless password through the control
panel to view or modify wireless settings. To set a wireless password (not the same as the
general printer password), use the
^WP ZPL command.
