Entering Diagnostic Mode

To enter the Diagnostic Mode, press and hold the Print Button “IN” while turning the printer
“ON.” Release the Print Button after printer begins to print the Status Label. The printer will
enter the DIAGNOSTICS Mode, and print the Statistics label and a print test pattern.

In the DIAGNOSTICS Mode, the printer is forced to use the RS-232 port at 115,200 baud.
The normal Soft Switch settings are ignored, and factory default settings are loaded into the
printer. These default settings will remain in effect until the printer power is cycled or a Soft
RESET command is issued (^D32). These are the only 2 ways to get out of the
DIAGNOSTICS mode.

Statistics Label

The Statistics Label may be printed either by entering the DIAGNOSTICS Mode or sending
the Printing Statistics Command.
