The communication diagnostics mode is a troubleshooting
tool for checking the interconnection between the printer and
the host computer. When “diagnostics” is selected, all data
sent from the host computer to the printer is printed as
straight ASCII hex characters. The printer prints all
characters received including control codes, like CR
(carriage return). A sample printout is shown on page 112.
Notes • on diagnostic printouts:
FE indicates a framing error.
OE indicates an overrun error.
PE indicates a parity error.
NE indicates noise.
For any errors, check that your communication parameters
are correct. Set the print width equal to or less than the label
width used for the test. See page 65 for more information.
