ASCII Dump Mode offers the option of checking incoming
control sequences at the interface when working with direct
programming. The incoming commands at the printer 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 and is started after
four lines have been received.
Note: 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 you only have media (labels, endless paper) which do not cover the entire
printing width, you can reduce the width of the printout continuously down
to 50 mm with the Width ASCII dump parameter (see
Printing parameters on
page 5-5).
If you have 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.
