2. At the end of the diagnostics report, the printer will print:
“Press FEED key to enter DUMP mode”.
3. Press the FEED key. The printer will print: “Entering DUMP
mode”.
Note • If the FEED key is not pressed within 3 seconds, the printer will
print “DUMP mode not entered” and will resume normal operation.

the ASCII hex codes of any data sent to it, and their text represen-
tation (or “.” if not a printable character).
Additionally, a file with a “.dmp” extension containing the
ASCII information will be created and stored in the printer’s
memory. It can be viewed, “cloned” or deleted using the Net
Bridge application. (Refer to the Net Bridge documentation for
more information.)
To terminate the Communications Diagnostics Mode and re-
turn the printer to normal operations:
1. Turn the printer OFF.
