12 Monitor Mode / ASCII Dump Mode

If programming directly, the monitor mode provides a method to print control sequences which

were received at the interface. The commands will be printed in text format depending on the

selected character set. Error messages will be printed directly behind the fault, e.g. for

unknown commands.

NOTICE !

In monitor mode, the printer will not recognize gaps between labels nor control

the ribbon feed.

For questions or future reference, print and retain one copy of the label format for each label

printed.

Start of Monitor Mode/ ASCII Dump Mode

To start the monitor mode, press the

key while switching on the printer, and keep it

pressed down until the system test is completed. The display shows "ASCII Dump Mode".

Following send a print job to the printer and then press the pre-dispense key to print out the

contents of the label.

In monitor mode, the print of data will be started after every four lines of data received.
Therefore, in some cases, the last lines of the label have to be retrieved by pressing the
key.
To cancel ASCII Dump mode, press the

key.

Representation of the Control Characters

The control characters (ASCII Code 00 ... 31) as shown in monitor mode printouts are as

follows.
