Monitor Mode/ ASCII Dump Mode

If programming directly, the monitor mode provides a method to print control

sequences which were received at the interface. The commands will be printed in

text format depending on the selected character set. Error messages will be

printed directly behind the fault, e.g. for unknown commands.

In monitor mode, the Apollo will not recognize gaps between labels nor control the

ribbon feed.

To start the monitor mode, press the key while switching on the printer,

and keep it pressed down until the system test is completed. The display shows

"ASCII Dump Mode".

To cancel ASCII Dump mode, press the key.

In monitor mode, the print of data will be started after every four lines of data

received. Therefore, in some cases, the last lines of the label have to be retrieved

by pressing the key.

Test result : Result of the system test. Any errors will be shown coded
