Operational Modes

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.
