8. Hexadecimal Dumping
This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is coming to the printer.
This can be useful in finding software problems. When you turn on the hexadecimal dump
function, the printer prints all commands and data in hexadecimal format along with a
guide section to help you find specific commands.
To use the hexadecimal dump function, follow these steps.
8-1 After you make sure that the printer is off.

8-3 Turn on the printer, then the printer enters the hexadecimal dump mode.
8-4 Run any software program that sends data to the printer. The printer will print
all the codes it receives in a two-column format. The first column contains the
hexadecimal codes and the second column gives the ASCII characters that correspond
to the codes.
