12 Monitor Mode/ ASCII Dump Mode
If programming directly, the monitor mode provides a method to print control
sequences which were received at the interface. The commands 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 monitor mode, the Apollo will not recognize gaps between labels nor control the
ribbon feed.
The font used for printouts in monitor mode is suitable to send by facsimile.
For questions or future reference, print and retain one copy of the label format for
each label printed.
Start of Monitor Mode/ ASCII Dump Mode
To start the monitor mode, press the key while switching on the printer, and
keep it pressed down until the system test is completed. The display shows
"ASCII Dump Mode".
To cancel ASCII Dump mode, press the
key.
In monitor mode, the print of data will be started after every four lines of data
received. Therefore, in some cases, the last lines of the label have to be retrieved
by pressing the
key.
Representation of the Control Characters
The control characters (ASCII Code 00 ... 31) as shown in monitor mode printouts
are as follows.
