Diagnostics

 

 

 

 

 

 

HEX DUMP MODE

 

Most commonly used for troubleshooting.

 

 

 

 

Prints data and instructions received from

 

 

 

 

the host rather than interpreting them as

 

 

 

 

label formats; see Section 6.2.

 

ENABLE

 

Prints raw ASCII data received from the

 

 

 

 

host rather than executing the commands.

 

—DISABLE

 

Executes and prints label formats (normal

 

 

 

 

operating mode).

 

 

 

 

OPTIONS TESTING

 

Tests currently installed options

 

 

 

 

 

TEST PRESENT SENSOR

Performs a functional test of the Present

 

 

 

 

Sensor circuitry.

 

TEST CUTTER

 

Performs a functional test of the optional

 

 

 

 

cutter mechanism and circuitry.

 

 

PERFORM TEST

The cutter will cycle 1, 10 or 100 times

TEST GPIO OUTPUT

 

 

 

 

 

 

TEST SCANNER

 

Performs a functional test of the Scanner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SCAN TEST

 

Enters “read once mode.” A bar code is

 

 

 

 

read and the decoded results are displayed.

 

 

ALIGNMENT TEST

Enters “constant read mode.” Bar codes

 

 

 

 

are read; decoded results are displayed;

 

 

 

 

and, a read-count is incremented.
