Feed Button Modes
Power Off Mode (Communications Diagnostics Mode)
With the printer power off, press and hold the feed button while you turn on the power. The printer prints out a listing of its current configuration (see Figure 22). After printing the label, the printer will automatically enter a diagnostic mode in which the printer prints out a literal representation (see Figure 23) of all data subsequently received. To exit the diagnostic mode and resume printing, turn off and then turn on the printer.
