The communication diagnostics mode is a troubleshooting

 

tool for checking the interconnection between the printer and

 

the host computer. When “diagnostics” is selected, all data

 

sent from the host computer to the printer is printed as

 

straight ASCII hex characters. The printer prints all

 

characters received including control codes, like CR

 

(carriage return). A sample printout is shown on page 112.

 

Notes • on diagnostic printouts:

 

FE indicates a framing error.

 

OE indicates an overrun error.

 

PE indicates a parity error.

 

NE indicates noise.

 

For any errors, check that your communication parameters

 

are correct. Set the print width equal to or less than the label

 

width used for the test. See page 65 for more information.
