Note: Please select gap or black mark sensor by GAP or BLINE command prior to calibrate the sensor. For more information about GAP and BLINE command, please refer to TSPL2 programming manual.
22Self-test Printer will print the printer configuration after gap/black mark sensor calibration. Self-test printout can be used to check if there is any dot damage on the heater element, printer configurations and available memory space. Fig. 29 Self-test printout Note: 1. The physical flash memory for RoHS compliant version is 2MB Flash and 2MB DRAM. 2. System occupies 960 KB in Flash memory so total flash memory space for user downloading is 1088 KB 3. System occupies 1792 KB in DRAM so total DRAM memory space for user downloading is 256 KB Print head check pattern Firmware version Firmware checksum Printed mileage (meter) Serial port configuration Country code Print speed (inch/sec) Print darkness Label size (inch) Gap distance (inch) Gap/black mark sensor sensitivity Total & available memory space
23Dump mode Printer will enter dump mode after printing printer configuration. In the dump mode, all characters will be printed in 2 columns as following. The left side characters are received from your system and right side data are the corresponding hexadecimal value of the characters. It allows users or engineers to verify and debug the program. Fig. 30 Dump mode printout Note: Turn off / on the power to resume printer for normal printing. ASCII Data Hex decimal data related to left column of ASCII data
244.3 Printer Initialization Printer initialization is used to clear DRAM and restore printer settings to defaults. The only one exception is ribbon sensitivity, which will note be restored to default. Printer initialization is activated by the following procedures. 1. Turn off the power switch. 2. Hold on the button then turn on the power switch. 3. Release the button when LED turns green after 5 amber blinks.
