Using Dump Mode In Ipl - Intermec PB50 User Manual

PB50 and PB51 Mobile Printer User Guide
Chapter 3 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Mobile Printer
While the printer is receiving data, the Ready-to-Work indicator
blinks. After a half of a second, if no more characters have been
received, the printer times out. The program considers the
transmission terminated and prints out a label.
In Dump mode, by default, printable characters print in
black-on-white. Control characters and space characters (ASCII 000 to
032 dec) print in white-on-black.
As long as a continuous string of characters are being received, the
program wraps the lines until the label is full and then starts to print
another label. After each character transmission, the following
information prints:
• Page number
Number of characters printed on the label
•
• Total number of characters received so far
When you stop Dump mode, a final label prints to inform you that
the printer is exiting from Dump mode.

Using Dump Mode in IPL

When you start Dump mode, the printer captures incoming
characters on the communication ports and prints them on one or
more labels.
If you are using IPL, you can start Dump mode in two ways. Each way
produces slightly different results. You can start Dump more:
• from Ready mode or Extended Test mode. Printouts are exactly
like those produced with the Line Analyzer program in
Fingerprint. For more information, see the previous procedure,
"Using the Line Analyzer in Fingerprint" on page
• using the Control Panel buttons. Characters are printed on a
continuous line along with their corresponding hexadecimal
numbers.
For information on how to start Dump mode from Extended Test
mode, see "Understanding Extended Test Mode" on page
