Normal Operations Mode - The printer continues into a normal printer initialization.

Releasing the Feed button here will allow the printer to start normally without firmware

 

download or operating in communications diagnostics mode.

 

 

 

Communications Diagnostic (Dump) Mode - Release the Feed button immediately after

 

the printer status light turns green. The printer will print ‘Now in DUMP’ at the top of the

 

label and then advance to the next label. After printing the first label, the printer will

Green

automatically enter into diagnostic mode in which the printer prints out a literal

representation of all data subsequently received.

 

To exit the diagnostic mode and resume printing, turn off and then turn on the printer. An

 

alternate method for exiting the diagnostic mode is to press the Feed button as many times

 

as it takes to clear the printer’s command buffer and print ‘Out of DUMP’ on the label.
