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 a configuration label:
1 Be sure the printer is properly loaded with media (at least four 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 or perform a "Printer Reset"
by holding the control button for at least 25 seconds.
