Read Back of
information
The AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ supports bi-directional printing. The
information from the printer is read back on the parallel port when the
parameter Read Back Port (PRx_IN.) has the default setting of AUTO.
However, it is required that the printer also supports bi-directional
printing.
Please refer to your printer documentation for further details regarding
bi-directional printing support.
Example:
Follow the instructions below to disable the bi-directional communication
for logical printer PR1:
1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select
Admin | Logical
Printers.
2. Select the
PR1
tab.
3. Set the
Read Back Port
parameter to
NONE
.
4. Click the
OK
button.
Debugging using the
Hex Dump Mode
When hex dump mode is enabled, the print data is printed as hexadecimal
byte values rather than characters; printer control commands are also
printed as hex values. This allows you to inspect what control and print
characters are actually being sent to the printer, which is a useful
debugging facility for more difficult printing problems.
Example:
Follow the instructions below to enable the hex dump mode for PR3:
1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select
Admin | Logical
Printers.
2. Select the
PR3
tab.
3. Set the
Hex Dump Mode Enabled
radio button to
YES
.
4. Click
OK
.
Note:
The page length for hex dump printouts is determined by the lines per page value of the
PostScript page format parameter.
