Unit 4: Printer Configuration

4.4.4 HEX Dump Mode (POWER ON with DSW7=ON)

When turned ON in this mode, the printer will print a dump of its buffer contents received for the host. The printer awaits data feeds and when data arrives, it prints out the HEX data continuously.

To terminate the HEX Dump, set DSW7 to OFF and restart the printer.

4.4.5 Factory Clear Mode (Print head left open + ONLINE + FEED + POWER ON)

When turned ON in this mode, the printer clears various counters and settings, then generates printouts for the user’s reference.

Three DIP Switches (DSW5, DSW6, DSW8) can be set in various configurations to determine which settings are reset.

The following operations are possible:

Once the printer has been started in this mode, latch the print head to clear all affected counters.

Next, select the test print size by pressing ONLINE (big size) or FEED (small size).

The printer issues a label feed, and then starts printing once the factory settings have been applied. The ONLINE LED turns OFF while the printer is waiting to print. The ERROR LED turns ON once, during the start of the factory clear mode, but is otherwise OFF.

Pressing the FEED button each time will pause or resume the printing.

To terminate the test printing, pause the printing and turn the printer OFF.

The setting of DSW7 can affect the print head check result.
