Using Dump Mode In Ipl - Intermec PB50 User Manual

PB50 Mobile Label Printer User's Guide
Chapter 3 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the PB50
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.
Printable characters are printed in black-on-white. Control
characters and space characters (ASCII 000 to 032 dec) are
printed in white-on-black.
As long as a continuous string of characters is 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 exit Dump mode, a final label prints to inform you
that it is exiting from Dump mode.

Using Dump Mode in IPL

When you enter Dump mode, the printer captures incoming
characters on the communication ports and prints them on one
or more labels.
If you have IPL firmware on your printer, you can access Dump
mode in two different ways with slightly different results:
• You can access Dump mode through Test mode or Extended
Test mode and you will receive printouts that look 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 42.
• You can access Dump mode from the Setup menu. If you
access Dump mode this way, characters are printed on a
continuous line along with corresponding hexadecimal
numbers.
To enter Dump mode from the Setup menu
1 Press the Setup button.
2 Press until you reach Test/Service.
