Verifying Printer Communications With Your System

2-14
Once you have the printer connected to your system, you need to verify that
the printer communicates with your system.
This feature is available through the Data Line Print command in the Service
menu. You have two selections for Data Line Print:
Enabled The printer prints all ASCII characters it receives from the host,
including control characters. The corresponding hexadecimal code is printed
underneath each character.
Disabled The printer prints normally. This is the default setting.
To enable or disable Data Line Print
1. Start at the OFFLINE READY display.
2. Press [MENU] to enter the main menu. Press [ ] or [ ] until you reach the
Service menu.
3. Press [SELECT] to enter the Service menu. Press [ ] or [ ] until the display
shows:
SERVICE MENU
DATA LINE PRINT
4. Press [SELECT]. The display shows:
DATA LINE PRINT
DISABLED*
5. Press [ ] or [ ] to change to Enabled, and then press [ENTER] to move the
asterisk next to the new selection. The display shows:
DATA LINE PRINT
ENABLED*
The printer will now print characters received from the host.
The data line print automatically returns to DISABLED after you exit this
menu. Press [ONLINE/OFFLINE] to return to normal printing.
Note: An example using DOS to verify printer communications follows this
procedure.
