Optional Coaxial/Twinaxial Interface

Code Dump Mode (Address 0 through 6)

The code dump diagnostic allows you to print in hexadecimal format all data received by the coaxial/twinaxial interface.

First line - The printable representation of the received EBCDIC character. Unprintable characters (such as form feeds or nulls) will print as spaces.

Second line - The most significant nibble of the received EBCDIC character printed in hexadecimal format.

Third line - The least significant nibble of the received EBCDIC character printed in hexadecimal format.

For Example:

F

K

A H

D

EBCDIC character

received

02C002D02002C02C0403C0

Most significant

nibble

CB629B2490FB11B8301441

Least significant nibble

This above example shows the printer receiving a Form Feed (0C) followed by a system command to go to 8 lpi (2B C6 02 09).

Configuration Printout (Address 7)

This diagnostic provides you with a one page printout which describes the current configuration.

Print Test (Address 8)

Selecting this diagnostic causes a test pattern to be printed. This tests the internal interface to printer electronics connections.

Loop Test (Address 9)

This diagnostic tests the internal interface electronics. When performing this test, the coaxial or twinaxial adapter cable must be attached to the printer, but not connected to the host computer. When complete, a “Loop test passed” or “Loop test failed” message will be printed.

Diagnostic Problems Checklist

If the printer's built-in diagnostic tests do not perform as described above then:

a.Verify the printer configuration.

b.Check all of the installation connections.

c.Rerun the diagnostic. If the problem persists, contact your dealer or Printek Technical Support for technical assistance. If possible, have the configuration printout from the Address 7 diagnostic available when you call.
