TERMINAL MODE - Terminal Mode’s primary use is to act as an debugging tool for printer
command operations and communications to printers, PC’s and external input devices, such as
scanners.
The KDU Plus in Terminal Mode, immediately sends any data typed in on the KDU Plus to the
attached printer. The data shown on the KDU Plus display is only to provide feedback and
verification of data entered.
Terminal Mode will default to a display that has a single blinking square (the cursor) in the top
left hand corner.
FILE MODE - File Mode provides a method to remotely manage and distribute files to one or
more Zebra printers.
The KDU Plus will not by default, remain in the File Mode after turning off the power. See
Operational Mode Selection on page 16 for more details.
