Configuration Menu

The LabelWriter SE450 printer has a Printer Configuration Menu built into the firmware. Through this menu, flash memory settings such as baud rate and feed distance can be changed. Flash memory settings remain in effect even after power has been removed from the printer.

The Printer Configuration Menu is accessible by using any terminal communications (modem) program (such as, Hyperterminal in Windows) and communicating with the printer through an RS-232 serial port. The communications software MUST be configured to operate as follows:

9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit

To access the Printer Configuration menu

  1. Load labels in the printer and connect the serial cable.
  2. Disconnect power to the printer.
  3. Press and hold down the form feed button.
  4. While the form feed button is pressed, connect the power cord.
  5. Continue to hold the form feed button down for five more seconds. The green light will blink.
  6. Release the feed button.
  7. Start your communications software.

  8. Press <Enter> until the menu appears.
