2.3 Using the Character Dump Mode

This mode enables experienced users to detect the exact cause of communication problems between the
plotter and the computer. In character dump mode, an exact printout of the codes reaching the plotter is
produced.
Note : When the plotter receives READ commands that instruct it to output data, it will output dummy
data (except in the case of READ commands that request the output of the plotter's status data).
Note that printing in dump mode will be based on that dummy data.
If the cutting/plotting results are not what you expect, but the received data and the transmitted program
are identical, check the program at the computer once more (also refer to the separate "COMMAND SET
REFERENCE MANUAL").
If the cutting/plotting results are not what you expect, and the received data and the transmitted program
are different, check the interface conditions and the connection of the interface cable.
Warning : The pen starts moving as soon as the data is transmitted to the plotter from the computer.
To avoid injury to yourself and damage to the plotter, keep your hands, face, and other
obstacles out of the vicinity of the cutting mat and paper.
Procedure
Replace the cutter pen at the pen carriage's pen holder with a plotter pen and load paper in the plotter.
