condition occurs.

This option allows you to configure the printer to power-up in the offline or online

Hex Dump Mode
Values: Disable (default) and Enable
This option allows you to place the printer into the “hex dump” mode, in which the
printer will output a hexadecimal data stream.
When enabled, the hex dump mode translates all host interface data to its
hexadecimal equivalent, then prints the hex code and its printable symbol, if one
exists. Figure 3–13 shows a partial example of a hex dump.
All characters printed after entering the hex dump mode (including any in the
input buffer) are printed in two forms: as a two-symbol hexadecimal code and as
its printable symbol, if any. A non-printable code is printed as a period [.] symbol.
Up to 16 characters can be printed per line. No control codes will be acted upon
by the printer while in hex dump mode.
The 16 characters are formatted so that the 16 printable symbols are printed in
columns 1 through 16. The 17th column is blank. Column 18 contains either a “p”
(PI line active) or a blank (PI not active). Columns 19 and 20 contain the
hexadecimal code for the first character, followed by a blank. The PI line
condition and hexadecimal code for the second character is printed in columns
22, 23, and 24, followed by a blank. The hexadecimal code for the 16th character
is printed in columns 78, 79, and 80.
