There are several options you can use to view the printer's current configuration settings:
From the printer:
Tabletop Printers
- If the printer has an LCD Display, scroll through the LCD and select List Setup. On the S4M, this is listed as Print Out - Settings.
- Cycle Power and hold the Cancel button on power-up. Refer the Cancel Button Self Test article.
- On the ZT411 and ZT421, hold the cancel and feed buttons, or use the touch display to navigate to Menu > Gear icon > Settings > Print System Settings.
Desktop Printers
- For G-Series Printers, press and hold the Feed Button for one flash then release. Refer to Printing Self-Test Labels.
- For ZD500, press and hold the Cancel Key. Refer to ZD500 Series Users Guide: Control Panel.
- For ZD400, press and hold the Feed and Cancel Key. Refer to ZD410D User Guide: Test Printing with the Configuration Report.
From a Windows PC Host, you can send and receive data using the Zebra Setup Utility. Refer to Zebra Setup Utilities -- Sending Printer Commands and Receiving Data.
- Send the ZPL command ~WC to the printer. This will tell the printer to print a Configuration Label.
- Send the ZPL string ^XA^HH^XZ to the printer to return the settings back to the host. You will need a bi-directional application like Hyper-terminal, Tera-Term, or the Direct Communications windows of the Zebra Setup Utility to receive data back from the printer. Refer to: Zebra Setup Utilities -- Sending Printer Commands and Receiving Data.
- If the printer has a ZebraNet Print Server option, you can view the printer's Web Page and choose the link View Printer Configuration from the printer's Home Page Menu.
