Special Power Up Key Function

Enter into Feature Management Mode

Pressing and holding the FEED key until the READY LED flashes one time will establish a communication between the Fastmark 602 PAL printer and a PC.

This communication is only on the SERIAL port of the printer and FeatureMan must be active on the attached PC. Note: Entering into Feature Management Mode automatically establishes the communication parameters (baud rate, parity, etc) and can not be altered. The Printer is also in an OFF LINE state. Pressing the PAUSE button will cancel Feature Management Mode and place the printer

ON LINE.

Disabling a PALTM program

Pressing and holding the FEED key until the READY LED flashes two times will temporarily disable any loaded PALTM program.

Cycling the printer’s power will re-enable the PALTM program.
