Tips & Advice

1. Windows 7 and later operating systems have enhanced control over permissions. When installing in these operating systems, it is recommended that an Administrator account be used.

2. The Status Monitor regularly checks the printer for current status information. When the driver is being used over a network connection, this can have the effect of consuming connection ports that would otherwise be used for accepting print jobs at the printer. If the Status Monitor is in use and you are experiencing a delay in printing, try right clicking over the Status Monitor in the system tray (by the clock) and closing the Status Monitor.

3. Some printers contain a feature known as Draft Mode. If you are configuring a printer model with this feature, an option to turn on or off the feature is displayed on the Speed and Darkness dialog. When the feature is turned on, the printer shall ignore the current speed setting and print as fast as possible, while maintaining appropriate print quality. This feature would typically be turned on when print quality is unimportant such as receipt printing

Known Issues

1. When using a printer and Bluetooth communication with the Setup Utility or the Status Monitor, continuous disconnecting/connecting and prompting for credentials will occur if simple secure pairing is used.

2. The P4T and RP4T printers contain firmware supporting a subset of ZPL commands. As a result, when using the P4T or RP4T ZPL driver, some functionality in this application is not supported by the printer. In Printer Tools the "Feed one label" option may not work and can be substituted by sending: ! U1 do "test.feed" "now". The printer may not support ZPL commands produced by the Printer Connectivity Wizard. A solution is to install the P4T CPCL driver and generate the required commands in the Connectivity Wizard. The commands can then be sent to the printer using the original ZPL driver using the comm window or send file option.
