Dump Mode - Intermec EasyCoder C4 Reference Manual

Chapter 1—General Information

Dump Mode

The printer has the capability to perform in dump mode, which means
that the printer will print out the echo of the received ASCII. Use this
capability to debug your software when the printer does not perform as
you expect.
To enter Dump Mode:
• Turn off the power to the printer.
• For best result, load the printer with full width labels or tags.
• Hold down the Feed key and turn on the power again.
• Release the Feed key when the indicator lamp fl ashes green.
• This procedure adjusts the label stop sensor and media feed and
produces a test label, see below.
• After the test label has been printed, the printer enters the Dump
Mode, as indicated by the last line on the test label.
