5.1.7 Diagnostics
HEX DUMP MODE ♦ Most commonly used for troubleshooting. Prints data and instructions received from
the host rather than interpreting them as label formats; see Section 7.2.
ENABLED Prints raw ASCII data received from the host rather than executing the commands.
DISABLED Executes and prints label formats (normal operating mode).

where:
THR = thermistor sensor;
TRAN = transmissive (gap) media sensor (REFL is shown if the SENSOR TYPE is
set to ‘reflective’);
RIB M = ribbon motion sensor;
24V = 24 volt DC power supply sensor;
PS = Present sensor;
HD = head-down sensor; and,
RANK = the value of the printhead ranking resistor.
RIBBON SENSOR LIMITS ♦
Displays ribbon sensor ADC low and high values used for motion detection.
RIBBON ADC LOW HIGH
070 164
