Chapter 1—General Information
In the Dump Mode, the output is the same label as produced by means
of a U command, but an extra line will be appended saying “now in
DUMP”. Then the printer waits for ASCII dump printing.
Send a string of characters or a label form to the printer and tap the Feed
key to produce a printout. Dump mode will also print control characters,
see character set table on page 137.
To return to normal mode, briefl y tap the Feed key. A label with the
message “out of DUMP” will be printed.
Memory
The fi rmware has memory allocation for print image buffer, form,
graphic, and external font memory. The fi rst time the printer is used, it is
automatically initialized to default settings, see page 14.
The M memory command sets the image buffer, the form memory,
and graphic memory area. The remaining memory space, if any, is
allocated to the external font memory, which is intended for bitmap fonts
downloaded using external software.
Direct Mode
You can print a label without using a predefi ned format by sending write
commands (text, bar codes, graphics, lines and boxes) to the printer
after having cleared the image buffer using an N command. The label
remains stored in the image buffer and can be printed over and over again
by sending new P print commands, until the buffer is cleared by an N
command, or by retrieving and printing a Form (see FR command).
The Direct Mode is also used for retrieving and printing preprogrammed
label formats, for the issuing of global setup commands, for deleting
forms and graphics from memory, and to make the printer produce a
number of different reports.
