Configuration Label - Datamax MP Compact4 Mark II Operator's Manual

3.1.3

Configuration Label

Initiation of this mode causes the printer to print its Configuration Label and to begin the Hex Dump Mode.
The Configuration Label provides valuable printer information including the firmware version, memory
allocations, enabled options, communications settings, and label-counter data.
To print the Configuration Label:
1. Be sure the printer is properly loaded with media (at least 4 inches wide), and that the power to the
printer is off.
2. Turn on the printer.
3. When the Status Light turns on, press and hold the Control Button until printing begins.
After the printer has completed printing the Configuration Label the printer will enter Hex Dump Mode. In
this mode, all data sent to the printer will be immediately output in hexadecimal code, along with the
printable ASCII equivalents. The Hex Dump Mode is a useful tool for advanced users in the diagnosis of
problems including communications, handshaking, and label format syntax errors. To decode this
information, the Programmer's Manual is an essential reference.
To exit Hex Dump Mode simply turn the printer off.
