Input hexadecimal dump mode
The Input hexadecimal dump capability of the printer enables monitoring of data as it is sent to
the printer. Each Escape Sequence, Control Code, and ASCII character sent from the computer
to the printer is printed in a two-digit hexadecimal format. Such printing is initiated after 16
bytes of data have been transmitted to the printer. Hexadecimal values and their corresponding
ASCII characters between the values 20h to 7Eh are printed on each line.
To run this mode in draft printing
Press the FF key while turning ON the printer or pressing the RESET key. Hold down the FF
key until the LCD displays "
HEX DUMP DRAFT
"
To run this mode in LQ printing
Press the FF and ON LINE keys simultaneously while turning ON the printer or pressing the
RESET key. Hold down the both FF and ON LINE keys until the LCD displays "
HEX DUMP
LQ
"
To terminate this mode
Press the RESET key or turn off the power.
