ASCII Dump Mode
ASCII Dump Mode offers the option of checking incoming control sequences at an interface. The commands are
printed out as text. In addition, a corresponding error message is printed out immediately after an error occurs.
The printout occurs using the heat level and print speed specified in the Setup > Print param. menu.
Notice!

The printout occurs without taking the label gaps into consideration and without transfer ribbon checking.
This is why endless media are most suitable for this purpose.
If only media (labels, endless paper) is available which does not cover the entire printing width, the width of
the printout can continuously be reduced down to 50 mm with the Width ASCII dump parameter "4.1.3"
on page 14.

In case of questions about programming, keep a printout of your label file which was created in ASCII
Dump Mode handy. The printout can be transmitted clearly via fax.
Load printable medium (labels, endless paper).
If the printout is to occur using thermal transfer printing, insert transfer ribbon.
If the printable medium and/or the transfer ribbon does not cover the entire printing width, reduce the width of the
printout accordingly with the Width ASCII dump parameter "4.1.3" on page 14.
