Setting Communication Diagnostics Mode
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, such
as CR (carriage return). A sample printout is shown in Figure 33.

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 Setting Print Width
on page 59 for more information.
