How do I adjust the Label and Form Feed Settings on a Zebra Printer?

Summary:

This article explains how to fix a Zebra printer that won't stop at a perforation or won't feed a full label. For Cargas Energy 2017+ and Cargas Mobile Delivery, it recommends sending three Zebra Setup Utilities commands: set media.sense_mode to "bar", set media.feed_length to "2030", and run device.reset to reboot the printer so it uses the bar sensor and correct feed length.


Issue / Question :

  • How do I adjust the Label and Form Feed Settings on a Zebra Printer?

Environment:

  • Cargas Energy 2017 or Later
  • Cargas Mobile Delivery

Resolution / Answer:

If you find that the Zebra printer is not stopping at a perforation with a black bar mark or if the feed button is not feeding a full label to the perforation, we recommend sending the following command block through Zebra Setup Utilities:

! U1 setvar "media.sense_mode" "bar"
! U1 setvar "media.feed_length" "2030"
! U1 do "device.reset" ""

The above will set the media type on the printer to use the bar sensor, it will set the feed length to encompass a full label, and will then reboot the printer.
