Communications Diagnostics Mode

To aid the user in diagnosing communications problems, the printer features a Communications

Diagnostics Mode (Dump Mode). In the dump mode, the printer will print the ASCII hex codes of the data

sent to it, and their text representation (or the period ‘.’, if not a printable character). As a test of the printer

the “ALL CHRS.LBL” file on the MPU disk may be sent.

To enter Communications Diagnostics Mode:

1. Turn the printer OFF.

2. Hold FEED key down.

3. Turn the printer ON.

4. Release FEED key when printer starts printing the diagnostics.

5. At the end of 2nd diagnostics report, the printer will print: “Press FEED key to enter DUMP mode”.

6. Now press the FEED key. The printer will print: “Entering DUMP mode”.

Note: If the FEED key is not pressed within 3 seconds, the printer will print “DUMP mode not entered” and will resume normal

operation.

7. At this point, the printer is in DUMP mode and will print the ASCII hex codes of the data sent to it, and

their text representation (or “.” if not a printable character).

Additionally, a file with a “.dmp” extension containing the ASCII information will be created

and stored in the printer’s memory. It can be viewed, “cloned” or deleted using the Label Vista

application. (Refer to pg. P1-8 and the Label Vista documentation for more information.)

To cancel Communications Diagnostics Mode:

1. Turn the printer OFF.

2. Wait 5 seconds.

3. Turn the printer ON.
