Printer Control Menu
Hex Print Mode
A hex code printout (or hex dump) translates all incoming data to hexadecimal
equivalents. A hex dump lists each ASCII data character received from the
host computer, together with its corresponding two–digit hexadecimal code.
Hex dumps can be used to troubleshoot some types of printer data reception
problems.
•
Disable (the default)
•
Enable
Refer to page 271 to obtain a hex code printout.
NOTE: Printing in Hex Mode may alter print attributes set at the operator
panel or by the host computer. These attributes may need to be reset
after exiting Hex Print Mode. The mode is not available when printing
IPDS.
Power On State
This parameter allows you to configure the printer to power on in the READY
or NOT READY mode.
•
Ready (the default)
•
Not Ready
Paper Jam Detection
This parameter determines whether or not paper jam detection is active.
•
Enable (the default). Detects paper jams.
•
Disable. Disables paper jam checking to prevent false errors.
ATTENTION
When paper jam detection is disabled, the printer does not monitor
paper motion. If a paper jam occurs, the printer ignores the condition
and continues to print, possibly causing severe damage to the printer.
Forms Speed
FORMS SPEED affects the speed at which paper moves into the stacking
area of the printer.
•
Normal Speed (the default). Will slew and stack paper, such as single-
sheet data processing paper, at maximum speed.
•
Slow Speed. Will slew and stack at a slower pace. This ensures that
forms, such as multiple-sheet (i.e. invoice), will stack more neatly.
