Determines how the printer handles the data received from a host, where:
The printer outputs the raw ASCII data it receives without interpretation; no processing occurs.
Processes data normally. (Default Setting)
Saves the incoming data to Module H (USB thumbdrive) if present; otherwise, the file is stored on
Module G. The file name, in the form [dmx_xxx_yyy.dpl], where the count is automatically
incremented for every capture and a unique printer time stamp (xxx), is assigned.
Performs printer option diagnostics or monitors and outputs test results, where:
Performs a functional test of the Present Sensor by indicating LABEL PRESENTED (when a label
blocks the sensor) and LABEL NOT PRESENTED (when no label blocks the sensor). (Note that this
test can also be used to check the sensor function of the Peel & Present option.)
Performs a functional test of the Cutter, where:
Cycles the cutter blade a selected number of times (0 - 999), with PASS / FAIL results given for
each cycling attempt.
Sets a label-to-label delay interval (0 - 120 minutes) when Test label batch printing, where:
Is the Default Setting.
Displays the values (0 – 255) from the printer sensors, where:
THR

THR = Printhead thermistor sensor;
TRAN = Gap media sensor (REFL when set to reflective);
RIBM = Ribbon sensor;
24V = 24 volt power supply sensor;
PS = Present sensor;
HD = Printhead position sensor; and,
RANK = Printhead ranking resistor.
Displays the values from the ribbon sensor readings (see example below) for printers equipped with
the thermal transfer option, where:
