Using Communications Diagnostics Mode

If there's a problem transferring data between the computer and
the printer, try putting the printer in the Communications
Diagnostics mode (also referred to as the Dump mode). The
printer prints the ASCII characters and their text representation
(or the period [.], if not a printable character) for any data
received from the host computer.
To enter Communications Diagnostics mode
1
Print a configuration label.
After printing the configuration label, the printer prints:
"Press Feed button to enter Dump mode."
2
Press the Feed button. The printer prints: "Entering Dump
mode."
