2. GETTING STARTED, cont'd.
7. Custom-Made
Startup Program
If the printer is not fitted with any startup program at all, the display
window should show the following message directly after power-
up:
Fingerprint
6.13
This means that the printer has entered Fingerprint's immediate
mode. Proceed at chapter 2.10.
If any other kind of message is displayed than those illustrated
above, the printer is provided with some kind of custom-made
startup program, which you must break before you can start
programming.
• If the printer is equipped with a keyboard, or if the way of breaking
the program is known, go on to chapter 2.8, “Breaking a Startup
Program”.
• If the printer is not equipped with a keyboard and the method of
breaking the program is not known (or is missing), go on to
chapter 2.9, “Bypassing a Startup Program”.
The following method requires that the printer is either fitted with
a keyboard or that the way of breaking the program is known.
Default Method (break from keyboard)
• Press the <C> key and keep it pressed down while also pressing
the <Pause> key.
Other Methods
• The program may be provided with other means for breaking the
program, e.g. by sending a certain character from the host or by
pressing another key or combination of keys. Break from keyboard
may also be disabled completely.
When a break interrupt has been executed and you have entered the
immediate mode, there will be no change in the printer's display, but
a message should appear on the screen of the host, provided you
have a working two-way communication:
User break in line XXXX
How to go on
• If you cannot break the program from the keyboard and do not
know how to break the program from the host, go on to chapter
2.9.
• If you have succeeded in breaking the program, proceed at chapter
2.10.
