GENERAL DESCRIPTION

REV.-A

1.8.2 HEXADECIMAL DUMP FUNCTION

HEX dump mode is activated if the printer is switched on while both the LINE-FEED and FORM-FEED but-

tons are depressed. When this mode is in effect, the hexadecimal representation of the input data is printed

beside the corresponding printable ASCII characters. Periods (.) are printed beside control code input data.

This function is useful for checking the data the printer is receiving from the host.
