Read-back of
information
The 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
Printer Settings.
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 activated, 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 being sent to the printer, which
is a useful debugging facility for the more difficult printing problems.
Example:
Follow the instructions below to activate the hex dump mode for PR3:
1. From the print server’s internal web page, select
Admin | Logical
Printer Settings.
2. Select the
Printer3
tab.
3. Set the
Hex Dump Mode Enabled
radio button to
YES
.
4. Click the
OK
button.
Note:
❏
The page length for hex dump printouts is determined by the
lines per page value of the PostScript page format parameter.
