Chapter 3 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the PB50

Printable characters are printed in black-on-white. Control characters and space characters (ASCII 000 to 032 dec) are printed in white-on- black.

As long as a continuous string of characters is being received, the program wraps the lines until the label is full and then starts to print another label. After each character transmission, the following information prints:

Page number

Number of characters printed on the label

Total number of characters received so far

When you exit Dump mode, a final label prints to inform you that it is exiting from Dump mode.

Using Dump Mode in IPL

When you enter Dump mode, the printer captures incoming characters on the communication ports and prints them on one or more labels.

If you have IPL firmware on your printer, you can access Dump mode in two different ways with slightly different results:

You can access Dump mode through Test mode or Extended Test mode and you will receive printouts that look exactly like those produced with the Line Analyzer program in Fingerprint. For more information, see the previous procedure, “Using the Line Analyzer in Fingerprint” on page 46.

You can access Dump mode using the control panel buttons. If you access Dump mode this way, characters are printed on a continuous line along with corresponding hexadecimal numbers.

To enter Dump mode using the control panel buttons

Press and hold the Feed and Standby buttons until the printer starts feeding out media.

The printer feeds out several labels (or inches of media), prints the test labels, and then enters Dump mode.

To exit Dump mode using the control panel buttons

Press the Feed button.
