Printer Network (and Bluetooth) Configuration Report
For printersinstalled with Wired or Wireless connectivity options, print an additional printer configuration
report.
This information is needed to establish and troubleshoot Ethernet (LAN and WLAN), Bluetooth 4.2, and
Bluetooth LE network printing. The following printout is printed with the ZPL ~WL command.
iOS Bluetooth Support
• iOS devices have Bluetooth Classic 4.X (with 3.0 compatibility) when the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Classic
wireless connectivity option is installed in the printer and is noted as supported at the bottom of the
Bluetooth Configuration report.
• The iOS setting is noted on the bottom of the Bluetooth Configuration report as not supported when the
Wireless connectivity option is detected as not installed.
• See Printing a Configuration Report (CANCEL Self Test) on page 151 for a sample printout of the
Network Configurationreport.
Resetting Printer Factory Defaults (PAUSE + FEED Self Test)
This resets the printer configuration to the factory default values for the non-network printer settings.
NOTE: The printer has a reset button under the printer, See the Reset Button.
1. Turn OFF the printer.
2. Press and holdthe PAUSE + FEED buttons while turning ON the printer.
3. Continue holding the PAUSE + FEED buttons until the STATUS indicator is the only indicator lit.
4. Calibrate the printer for the media in use. See SmartCal Media Calibration on page 150.
Resetting Network Factory Defaults (PAUSE + CANCEL Self Test)
This procedure resets the network configuration settings to the factory default values.
1. Turn OFF the printer.
2. Press and hold the PAUSE + CANCEL buttons while turning ON the printer.
3. Continue holding the PAUSE + CANCEL buttons until the STATUS indicator is the only indicator lit.
Generating a Print Quality Report (FEED self-test)
Different types of media may require different darkness settings. This section contains a simple but
effective method for determining the ideal darkness for printing barcodes that are within specifications.
Load the printer with full-width media.
During the Print Quality Report (FEEDself-test), a series of labels are printed at different darkness settings
at two different print speeds. The relative darkness and the print speed are printed on each label. The
barcodes on these labels may be ANSI-graded to check the print quality. The speed at which labels are
printed during this print quality test depends on the dot density of the printhead.
