What It Does
Hex Dump Mode
Off,
On
Allows you to print raw ASCII data. This is
very useful when troubleshooting computer
(software) installation problems. See the
HEX—Decimal Conversion Chart on the next
page.
When HEX Mode is disabled, a standard ad-
dress prints on a single envelope. With Hex
Mode enabled, the same address prints on
several envelopes (3 to 5). This happens be-
cause in HEX mode there are four elements
printed for each character in the address.
Each HEX code is two digits long separated
by brackets. A capital letter A is a Hex [41].
When reviewing addresses printed in HEX
mode, start from the end of the address
at the ZIP Code (remember 30’s are the
numbers) and count backwards toward the
beginning of the address. Count the number
of carriage returns, CR [0D], and line feeds,
LF [0A]. Check that the printer’s address
setup has the same number of CRs and LFs
as the address printed. If a variation exists in
the number of CRs or LFs between address-
es, you MUST terminate the address with a
(form feed) FF [0C].
To print a hex dump once you’ve enabled the
mode, press the
Menu
button to back out of
the menu until the printer displays
Off Line
.
Then press
On Line
and send addresses to
the printer.
