Resetting Setup Parameters
Setup parameters are reset if:
• The ^default command is used.
•The Feed key is held down for more than 3 seconds in Dump
mode.
• The printer’s firmware is upgraded using a firmware cartridge.
Some commands may also affect the values of other commands.
For example, if a configuration label is printed, the print
direction is reset to ZT. For help, see “U- Print Configuration
(General)” on page 111. Or, if an R reference point command is
executed, the label width is changed appropriately. For help, see
“q - Set Label Width” on page 103.

character set are not changed.
First, change these setup parameters from Direct mode:
