3.4.3- HEXADECIMAL DUMP MODE
The hexadecimal dump prints the data transmitted from the host computer as
hexadecimal numbers and their corresponding ASCII characters.
In this mode, no commands are processed. All the received data is printed as it is in
Hexadecimal mode. This is very useful for the user can debug the software
implementation during the initial period of his application. He can check whether the
communication is correct and the commands are well defined.
If a set of commands and data does not act as it was expected, the error can be easily
detected using this mode, for the user can compare what he is supposedly sending to
the printer and what the printer is actually receiving.
Starting the hexadecimal dump:
To start the hexadecimal dumping, turn off the printer, and hold down the PFEED button
and the PROG button then turn on the printer. Then the printer first prints “Hexadecimal
Dump” on the paper roll and prints the received print data in hexadecimal numbers and
in its corresponding ASCII characters.
NOTES:
(1) If no characters correspond to the data received, the printer prints “.”
(2) During the hexadecimal dump, no commands are processed.
Ending the hexadecimal dump:
You can end the hexadecimal dump by turning the power off.
Next figure shows an example of the HEXADECIMAL DUMP MODE:
