Data Dump Mode
Data dump mode is a special feature that makes it easy for
experienced users to find the cause of communication problems
between the printer and computer. The data dump mode produces
an exact printout of the codes reaching the printer.
Make sure that
the
printer is loaded with paper and turned off.
Hold down the
SelecType
button while you turn
on
the printer.
Make sure you hold the button down until
the message
HEX
DUMP appears on the display.
Run any program that causes the printer to print (either an
application program or a program written in any programming
language). Your printer prints out all of the codes sent to it in
hexadecimal format as shown in the sample below.
Choosing a Paper Size
The factory paper-size setting is set to letter. Whenever possible, use
your application software settings to choose the paper size you
require for your print job. If you cannot select
the
paper size with
your application program, you
can
use the SelecType Level 1 P-SIZE
option.
You need to choose the paper size (preferably with your software) if
you use a paper other than letter size and:
you use manual feeding
you install the multi-media feeder
you return to letter-size printing after using another paper size.
The table below lists all the paper sizes on the SelecType menu.
