Operation modes
The printer can be operated in the following modes:
Normal
In this state, the printer is being controlled by the host through the serial, parallel or USB communication
interfaces.
Dump mode
In this mode advanced users and programmers can identify communication problems between the host and
the printer or check if a certain programmed data is correctly being sent to the printer, thus being a debugging
tool. To start the hexadecimal dumping, turn on the printer while pressing the paper feed switch. A message
will be printed on the paper asking you to press once more the paper feed switch if Dump mode is desired. If
a full cut command is received in this mode, the printer will cut and eject the paper automatically.

starts printing, the paper feed button can be released. A message will be printed asking you waiting for the
self-test. In the self-test you will find all printer´s print modes as well as the main printer´s features. After
that the self-test was printed, both Paper and Error Leds will blink indicating that a new self-test can be
started. To start a new self-test, press Paper Feed button. To operate the printer in the normal mode, please
