5. The ZKDU (and the attached printer) will begin initial internal testing. The ZKDU
will then automatically detect the serial port configuration of the attached printer. The
ZKDU finishes with testing for EPL print capability first, then tests for ZPL print
capability, and if neither Zebra programming language is detected - an error message
is displayed.
6. Press the
F2 key to print a list of Forms stored in the printer. See examples below.
7. Some Zebra label printers support dual EPL and ZPL programming and can have both
Form types present in printer memory. Use the
F1 key switch between language
modes and then use the
F2 key to print a new list of Forms that design for the other
programming language.
