Hexadecimal Dumping
Hexadecimal dumping function

in its corresponding characters.

cover. The printer first prints “Hexadecimal Dump” on the paper roll and prints the received
print data in hexadecimal numbers and in its corresponding characters.

During hexadecimal dumping, any commands other than DLE EOT, DLE ENQ, and GS ENQ do
not function.

finished.
