Printer info

4: 0000 / 3 / 5 / C

Fig. 11 d Printer info display 4

The fourth page of the info display contains coded information on the configuration of

the printer and the internal test results in the format "xxxx / y / z / C".

xxxx Result of the system test

The four-digit hexadecimal number contains (coded) hardware faults.

The figure is the same as in the printout of the self test.

For fault encoding see code Table 10 in chapter 10 "Self Test".

The example, as shown in Figure 11d, displays "0000" indicating that

there have been no hardware faults.

y Type of peripheral device

0 : Cutter

2 : Applicator

3 : None fitted

4 : External print start

For example, Figure 11 d : "3" - No peripheral device connected.

z Configuration setting Transfer print/ Label sensor

The value of z results from adding the code numbers for selected settings.

Transfer print : 1 = ON

0 = OFF

Label sensor : 8 = Bottom-Reflect

4 = Gap sensor

0 = Top-Reflect

For example, Figure 11d : "5" - Transfer print ON (1) + Gap sensor (4).

C Indicates that the setup configuration has been altered from the defaults, for

Apollo 1 and Apollo 2 only. (no other messages)

For Apollo 3, the letter behind the "/" sign represents the state of modification

of the hardware. (board)

The last of the info pages shows the name of the character set as selected in setup.

Table 12 Representation of the control characters in monitor mode

12 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.

The font used for printouts in monitor mode is suitable to send by facsimile.

For questions or future reference, print and retain one copy of the label format for

each label printed.

Start of Monitor Mode/ ASCII Dump Mode

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.

Representation of the Control Characters

The control characters (ASCII Code 00 ... 31) as shown in monitor mode

printouts are as follows.

Example of ASCII Dump Mode

The following figures show the "normal" appearance of a printed label, and the

appearance of the same label when its commands are printed in ASCII Dump

mode.
