Data Transfer Device Operating Instructions Section 4: Printer Mode

4.2.1 INFRARED CAPTURE

To start capturing data, first hit the ENTER key on the INFRARED CAPTURE menu item on the main menu shown in section 4.2.
Next you are prompted with the message shown below.

To dump the transaction log or users to the DTD follow these steps:

1. Enter Program Mode on the controller keypad : 99 # master code * (keypad yellow LED flashing slow).

2. Enter the command to dump either the transaction log or user list:

Enter the Log Dump command on the controller keypad: 70 # 0 # 0 # * (keypad yellow LED flashing fast).

Enter the User Dump command on the controller keypad: 25 # 0 # 0 # * (keypad yellow LED flashing fast).

3. Press ENTER on the DTD (the WAITING FOR DATA screen appears on DTD; shown below).

4. Press the * key on the controller keypad (keypad LED flashing green and yellow)

5. When finished, the green LED stops flashing and only the yellow is flashing.

6. Press the * key on the controller keypad to exit program mode.

Once the unit starts receiving data, the green LED on the DTD turns on indicating data is being captured. If the red LED turns on, this
indicates the DTD is not receiving any data. You should adjust the DTD until you see the green LED turn on. Keep in mind, however,
that if the controller sent out any data prior to establishing communications, you may miss some data. Please refer to the note at the
top of this page.

When the DTD starts receiving, the data will scroll across the display as each line is received, similar to a paper tape. The data is
stored in memory for later viewing on the DTD or to import from a PC.

Note: It's important to note, prior to using the INFRARED CAPTURE function in Printer
Mode, how this feature differs from the Import/Export function in DTD Mode. In Printer
Mode, the DTD can only receive data, because the door controllers only support one-way
communication. This is important because if the DTD misses any data (because it was not
aligned properly or you move it out of the data stream), the controller won't resend the data.
This means there will be gaps in your data. If this occurs, dump the data a second time from the
controller and be sure to keep the DTD aligned properly.
