S-Class  9
3.1.1  Automatic Parser Mode Detection 
 
From the factory, the printer will automatically interpret the data 
received from the host to set the Parser Mode. 
 
 Note:   When set to ‘Auto,’ the printer assumes its parser mode according to 
the first character received.  If the first character is a < (ASCII control 
character 3C, as transmitted by most ticketing software packages), 
the printer will assume the desired DTPL parser mode. However, in 
certain cases (for example, if a font download is executed following 
power-up), a received character may cause an unexpected parser 
mode which can falsely appear to be a communications problem.  
   
  If you want to force the parser mode, see Section 4.3.  
 
  More information on identifying the parser mode setting is available in 
Section 5, under ‘no communications / not printing via software.’ If 
you have any questions or are unable to establish communications, 
contact Datamax Technical Support for help.
