HPIIISi TWINAX CARD
8.3 EBCDIC Hex Dump
The HPIIISi Twinax Card can be set up to print its buffer in hexadecimal
EBCDIC code. This can be useful for a technician to diagnose problems
with the Card or the printer.
The EBCDIC hex data is printed on a grid corresponding to the data’s
position in the buffer. If the hex data represents a printable character, that
character is printed below the hex data.
To start the EBCDIC hex dump from your host, PC, or LAN server, take
these steps:
1.
Verify that the printer is connected properly to the
Card.
2.
Type the “&%Z42,1” host/PC-download command on the screen.
(Refer to the entry for this command in
Section 5.3
.)
3.
Send the command to the printer (press the Print Screen button or
print the document/ file that contains the command).
4.
To stop the buffer hex dump, type “&%Z42,2” on the screen, then
send it to the printer (press the Print Screen Button or print the
document/file that contains the command).
To start the EBCDIC hex dump from the printer’s operator panel, take
these steps:
