Dump Mode; Auto Sensing - Century Falcon 4 Plus Series User Manual

4-5. Dump Mode

When label setting and the print result don't match, it's recommended to go into the Dump Mode
to check whether there's a mistake in data transmission between the printer and the PC. For
example, when printer receives 8 commands, yet without processing these commands, only
printed out the contents of the commands, this will confirm whether the commands were received
correctly. Test procedures to enter the Dump Mode are as follows:
1. Power off the printer, press and hold the FEED key.
2. Power on the printer (while still holding the FEED key).
3. When LCD Display shows "DUMP MODE BEGIN," release the FEED key. Printer will
automatically print "DUMP MODE BEGIN." This means the printer is already in Dump
Mode.
4. Send commands to the printer, and check to see if the print result matches the commands
sent.
To cancel (get out of the Dump Mode), press the FEED key, this time printer will automatically
print out "OUT OF DUMP MODE." This indicates that printer is back in the standby mode. Or
power off to exit the Dump Mode.

4-6. Auto Sensing

Printer can automatically detect label (black mark paper) length and record it. By this way,
without setting the print length, the printer can accurately detect the label (black mark) positions.
1. Check if the Moveable Sensor Mark is located at the right sensing position.
2. Power off the printer, press and hold the Pause key.
3. Power on the printer (while still holding the Pause key), after printer beeps 3 times and the
LCD Display shows "Auto Sensing mode," release the Pause key. Printer will automatically
detect the label size/length and record.
4. LCD Display shows the results of measurement.
Printer goes back to standby mode after displaying the measurement.
