^ND – Change Network Settings

What ^ND does

^ND is part of the Network Commands reference. Use it when working with change network settings on compatible Zebra printers. This independent reference focuses on the command shape, configuration inputs, defaults, and the surrounding commands that are commonly used with it.

Syntax

^NDa,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j

Parameter quick reference

• a = the device that is
• Values:
• b = IP resolution Values:
• Default: A
• c = IP address Values: Any properly formatted IP address in the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format.
• d = subnet mask Values: Any properly formatted subnet mask in the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format.
• e = default gateway Values: Any properly formatted gateway in the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format.
• f = WINS server
• Values: Any properly formatted WINS server in the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format.
• g = connection

Implementation guidance

• Confirm that the printer model and firmware support the command before deployment.
• Test the smallest valid command first, then add optional parameters one at a time.
• Keep units in printer dots unless the command explicitly defines another unit.
• Verify the result on the target media, because resolution, orientation, and stored settings can change the output.

Troubleshooting

If the printer ignores the instruction, check the command prefix, delimiter characters, firmware support, and whether the command belongs inside a ^XA and ^XZ format. For output commands, also confirm that the field is closed with ^FS where required.
