If the status LED is on or flashing, refer to What the Status Light is Telling You on page 60.

A communications problem has occurred. First, make sure that the correct
communications port on the computer is selected. Refer to Connecting your Printer to a
Computer on page 17 in the Getting Started section.
Verify the correct Format and Control Prefix on the printer match what you are using in
your ZPL programmed label format. The default Format (COMMAND CHAR) is Caret

characters with the Configuration Status label printout. Refer to the one-flash sequence of
