Chapter 4 ADVANCED USER Menu
Barcodes on Page
This setting defines the number of barcodes that must be detected on the
form. If the value is set to “Auto” (factory default), no particular number of
barcodes are required to be detected. If the value is set to a number between
1 to 20, then the number of barcodes set is required to be detected on each
form. If the printer detects fewer barcodes than the value set, the fault “x/y
BARCODES / Not Found” is declared. x represents the number of barcodes
not found, and y represents the Barcodes on Page value. Printing will not
continue until the user clears this fault.
Bcodes Optimized
This is a display menu that continuously counts the number of barcodes that
have been optimized since power-up. This statistic only resets to zero when
the printer is powered off. This menu can be used as a diagnostic to check the
number of barcodes optimized over a period of time or over a batch file.
PTX_SETUP Option
Selects the Special Function Control Code for the PTX_SETUP command
and functions.
• Setup Parse . Disables or enables the PTX_SETUP command.
• Setup SFCC . Allows you to choose the hex value of the ASCII character
you wish to use as the SFCC for the PTX_SETUP command. Valid hex
values are 01-FF. The default value is hex 21, which corresponds to the
“!” character.
Hex Dump Mode
A hex code printout (or hex dump) translates all incoming data to hexadecimal
equivalents. A hex dump lists each ASCII data character received from the
host computer, together with its corresponding two-digit hexadecimal code.
Hex dumps can be used to troubleshoot some types of printer data reception
problems. The options include:
• Disable (factory default)
• Enable
Figure 48 on page 287. shows a hex dump sample.
Power-Up State
• Online (factory default). The printer powers up in the online state.
• Offline . The printer powers up in the offline state.
NOTE: This option is not available in the PCL-II or LG emulation.
