Appendix B. Error Messages/Troubleshooting
Self-Test
The Self-Test function in the Printer will help the user to troubleshoot whether the Printer is operating
normally. In the Self-Test Mode, the Printer will print out a test sample each time the FEED Key is
pressed. To stop the Self-Test procedure simply power off the Printer. Below are the Self-Test
procedures:
To perform a Self Test:
1. Turn the Printer Off.
2. Press and hold the FEED Key.
3. Turn the Printer On while still holding the FEED Key down.
4. Release the FEED Key after hearing 3 beeps.
After about 1 second the Printer will print the Test Label and the LCD will display “Self
Test”. This means the Printer is operating normally. Simply cycle the power on the
Printer to exit the Self Test.
Dump Mode
The Printer’s Dump Mode provides the ability to print the command sequences received by the Printer
instead of executing them. Dump Mode is very useful as a troubleshooting tool when the label settings
and the print results do not match, and can be used to check for errors in data transmission between
the Printer and the PC. Examining the Dump Mode print out will confirm whether or not the correct
commands were received.
To enter Dump Mode:
1. Turn the Printer Off.
2. Press and hold the FEED Key.
3. Turn the Printer On while still holding the FEED Key down.
4. The Printer will beep three times. Continue to hold the FEED Key down; the Printer
will beep one more time.
5. When the LCD shows the message “DUMP MODE BEGIN”, release the FEED Key. The Printer
will print “DUMP MODE BEGIN”. The Printer is now in Dump Mode.
6. Send commands to the Printer and check to see if the commands printed are the same commands
sent by your application.
7. Press the FEED Key to exit Dump Mode. The Printer will print “OUT OF DUMP MODE” to confirm
that it is no longer in Dump Mode.
