Overview
If you need to modify the serial port settings of the printer to match the specifications of your environment, the following instructions can assist you in doing so.

This should apply the necessary changes. At this point, you can attempt communicating to the printer using the new Serial Port settings.
You can also modify the majority of serial port settings using Set-Get-Do commands. These are printer control commands that can be found within the ZPL Programming Guide and require more knowledge of the printer's programming language to use.
Kindly refer to Mobile Printer serial port commands for more information.
