After you have installed the media and the Power-On Self Test (POST) is complete, the control
panel displays
PRINTER READY. You may now set printer parameters for your application
using the control panel display and the buttons directly below it. If it becomes necessary to
restore the initial printer defaults, see FEED and PAUSE Self Test on page 102.
Enter Setup Mode
To enter Setup Mode, complete these steps:
1. Press SETUP/EXIT.
2. Press PLUS (+) or MINUS (–) to scroll through the parameters.
3. Press SELECT to select and deselect the parameters.
Important • Certain printing conditions may require that you adjust printing parameters,
such as print speed, darkness, or print mode. These conditions include (but are not
limited to):
• printing at high speeds
• the use of extremely thin, short, synthetic, or coated labels
Because these and other factors affect print quality, run tests to determine the best
combination of printer settings and media for your application. A poor match may limit print
quality or print rate, or the printer may not function properly in the desired print mode.
Note • If the printer is operating on an IP network and you have a ZebraNet 10/100
PrintServer or Wireless Plus Print Server, you can change the printer’s parameters in these
additional ways:
• with ZebraLink™ WebView. For information, see the appropriate print server user guide.
• with ZebraNet Bridge. For information, see the ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise Printer
Management User Guide.
