42 Zebra S-Series User’s Guide

The configuration mode allows you to fine-tune the internal printer
configuration settings for your application. In this mode, you can change
the following parameters:
• Printing darkness
• Rest position of the media with respect to the “web” or “interlabel gap”
• Position of printing relative to the top of the label
• Media and ribbon sensor values
• Label length
• Printing method
• Media type (continuous or non-continuous)
You can get a printout of the printer configuration (the values for each of
these parameters) at any time by performing the CANCEL Key Self Test
(see page 30).
If it is ever necessary to reset the printer configuration to the factory
defaults, refer to the “FEED Key and PAUSE Key Self Test” on page 33.
The ZPL II Programming Guide contains information on instructions that
may be sent to the printer to disable the MODE key and set specific label
format values for each of these parameters. If you are not using ZPL II,
refer to the instructions provided with your software package to determine
if you also have this capability.
