Printing a Configuration Label
To print out a listing of the printer’s current configuration follow
these steps:
1.Turntheprinteroff.Loadthemediacompartmentwithjournal
media(mediawithnoblackbarsprintedontheback)
2.PressandholdtheFeedButton.
3.PressandreleasethePowerbuttonandkeeptheFeedbutton
pressed. When printing starts, release the Feed button.
4.Theprinterwillcreatetworeports.Therstreportisabasic
functionaltestoftheprinter.Itprintsaseriesofinterlocking
“X”characterswhichactsasatestoftheprintheadelements
and reports on basic features of the printer including memory
installed.
The second report is a detailed list of the printer’s configura-
tion,includinganyoptionsinstalled(suchasradios)andcur-
rent status of system settings.
 RefertoFigures18.1through18.2forasampleconguration
label printout.
Performing a Forced Shutdown
Ittheprinterhaslockedupandisnotrespondingtoanyoperator
inputs or external commands, from either a connected terminal or
alinkedLAN,youcanperformaforcedshutdown.
•Iftheprintersoftwarelocksupduringnormaloperation,force
the printer to shut down by pressing and holding the Power
Button for 3 seconds.
•If you try to turn the printer off normally and the software
locksup,theprinterwillautomaticallyshutitselfoffaftera10
second delay.
•Ifyoutrytoturntheprinteroffanditdoesnotrespond,you
can force an immediate shut down by pressing and holding
thePowerButtonagainwithin10seconds.
A forced shutdown will preserve the printer’s data and settings.
Communications Diagnostics
Ifthere’saproblemtransferringdatabetweenaterminalorWLAN,
placingtheprinterintheCommunicationsDiagnosticsMode(also
referredtoasthe“DUMP”mode)willallowdiagnosticanalysis.The
printer will print transmitted data as ASCII characters and their text
representation(oraperiod“.”ifnotaprintablecharacter)forany
datareceivedfromthehostterminalornetwork
ToenterCommunicationsDiagnosticsMode:
1.Printacongurationlabelasdescribedabove.
2.Attheendof2nddiagnosticsreport,theprinterwillprint:
“PressFEEDkeytoenterDUMPmode.”
3.PresstheFEEDkey.Theprinterwillprint:“EnteringDUMP
mode.”
 Note•IftheFEEDkeyisnotpressedwithin3seconds,the
printerwillprint“DUMPmodenotentered”andwillresume
normaloperation.
4.Atthispoint,theprinterisinDUMPmodeandwillprinttheASCII
hexcodesofanydatasenttoit,andtheirtextrepresentation(or
“.”ifnotaprintablecharacter).
Additionally, a file with a “.dmp” extension containing the ASCII
information will be created and stored in the printer’s memory. It
canbeviewed,“cloned”ordeletedusingtheLabelVistaapplica-
tion.(RefertheLabelVistadocumentationformoreinformation.)
ToterminatetheCommunicationsDiagnosticsMode:
1.TurntheprinterOFF.
2.Wait5seconds.
3. Turn the printer ON.
The printer will resume normal operation.

Introduction
Bluetooth ZBR4 Radio
The following section only applies when the Bluetooth ZBR4 module is installed in a P4T
series printer. This radio configuration has demonstrated compliance to FCC regulations.
P4T series printers with this configuration sold in North America will have the FCC ID
number for this radio module on a label on the back of the printer.
Caution • Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
The radiated output power of this internal Bluetooth radio
is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. The
internal Bluetooth radio operates within guidelines found
in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations.
Do not use the printer in an unauthorized manner.

The following section only applies when the CF (Compact Flash) WLAN module and
Bluetooth ZBR4 module are installed in a P4T printer. This co-located radio configuration
has demonstrated compliance to FCC regulations. P4T printers with this configuration
sold in North America will have the FCC ID numbers for both radios on a label on the back
of the printer.
