dump Command - Enable Dump Mode

Description This command allows the advanced program- mer to force a user diagnostic “data dump” mode. Sending the dump command to the printer allows the programmer to compare ac- tual data sent to printer with the host program.

Send data to the printer after the dump com- mand has been issued to evaluate program and printer control data. The printer will process all data bytes into ASCII character data , range 0-255 decimal (00-FF hexadecimal).

Press the printer’s Feed button until “Out of Dump” is printed or power cycle the printer to terminate the dump mode.

Syntax dump

Parameters None

Use the “Dump Mode” character map in Appendix A of the EPL2 programmer’s manual to interpret the dump mode data (characters printed on the labels) back into ASCII data.

Graphics data dump may be large and require multi- ple labels to print.

Set the image buffer width with the q command to match the media width prior to issuing the dump command.

Press the Feed button to view dump data that ex- ceeds a single label’s print area. Repeat to view more dump data.

Pressing the Feed button after the dump data is fin- ished printing will cause the printer to exit the dump mode.

Example: dump
