• UDC

 

The UDC Label tests the ability of the printer to receive and print

 

single or multiple user-defined characters (bitmap graphics) that

 

are sent from the host. Select between printing a single UDC or

 

labels for all the UDCs stored in the printer’s memory.

• Font

The Font Label contains all the characters in a single font. Select between printing a single font or labels for all the fonts stored in the printer’s memory. The latter uses a lot of media so it is recommended to test one font at a time.

Data Dump

If data dump is enabled by selecting the “Yes” option, the printer prints all data and protocol characters received on the serial port. An ASCII and hexadecimal representation of each character is printed.

Memory Reset

There are two options. The memory will be reset to factory default as soon as an option has been selected and < Enter> is pressed. Select between “All”, which resets the entire memory and “Configuration” which just resets the configuration part of the memory.

Label Rest Dots

Specifies where labels stop for removal. Use this for peel-off (self-strip) applications. Allowed range is -30 (furthest back) to 30 (furthest forward). Default is 0. Also available as an IPL command (<SI>fn).

Form Adj Dots X

Specifies where the X-position of the origin should be placed on the label. Allowed range is -30 (closest to the leading edge) to 30 (furthest from the leading edge). Default is 0.

Form Adj Dots Y

Specifies where the Y-position of the origin should be placed on the label. Allowed range is -30 (closest to the center section) to 30 (furthest from the center section). Default is 0.
