How do I change the serial port baud rate?Īs shipped from the factory the baud rate is set to 9600,8,1,N. The printer will then automatically perform a label calibration test. While powered up, press and hold the FEED button for around 10 seconds until the Ready and Power LED’s turn off and then back on then release the feed button. My printer is acting up, how do I reset it to factory defaults?
If drivers from other sources are used make sure you match the driver to the emulation loaded in the printer as follows: PPLA use a Datamax type driver, PPLB use an Eltron type driver, PPLZ use a Zebra type driver. The supplied Windows drivers works with all versions of the printer regardless of the emulation loaded. Which emulation needs to be loaded in my printer to use Windows drivers? Also ensure the media is loaded according to the users manual and you have performed a media calibration. How do I correct this?įirst, if you have just loaded a new roll, make sure you shut the top cover before printing or feeding media. To exit this mode press the FEED key or cycle power on the printer.Īfter I load media, sometimes it does not feed properly and printing is in the wrong position. This allows all data sent to the printer to be displayed as HEX values which is useful debugging communication and programming issues. If the printer is loaded with PPLB emulation, “HEX Dump” mode is automatically entered after running the configuration print out. Press the FEED key to exit this mode.Īfter performing the configuration print my printer prints in strange “Number” codes? How can I fix this? In PPLB emulation the printer will now be in a HEX dump mode. Continue to hold until feeding stops then release, after a pause the configuration report will print. How do I tell which emulation and firmware revision is loaded in my printer? Now each time the Feed key is pressed one form should feed. Load the media to be calibrated, power on the printer while holding the FEED key, release as soon as media starts feeding, then cycle power after the feed stops. changes) you must calibrate the media sensors. The first time you use Fastmark and each time a new type of media is loaded (length, gap, color, etc. How/When/Why do I need to calibrate the media sensor?
