ASCII Dump (Monitor) Mode
The ASCII Dump mode provides a method to print the control sequences sent
to the interface. In this mode the data received will be printed in text format
depending on the selected character set. Error messages will be printed
directly behind the fault, e.g. for unknown commands.
In this mode, the printer will not sense gaps between labels.
NOTICE !
The font used for the printout in this mode is large enough to be clearly
readable after facsimile transmission. For questions or future reference,
using this mode, you may print and retain a copy of the label data for each
label you print.
To get a printout in monitor mode, load media (labels, continuous paper) and a
transfer ribbon (if applicable), which extends over the entire print width of the
printer.
NOTICE !
If only small materials available then it is possible to cut the width of the
printout to at least 2 in (50mm). The value can be set using the parameter
''Width ASCII dump'' (see chapter Setup / Print Parameters).
