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 at the end of Chapter 9.
To return to normal mode, briefl y tap the Feed key. A label with the
message “out of DUMP” will be printed.
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 Chapter 3.
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 by means of external software.
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 prepro-
grammed 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.
