Running the Data Scope Mode
This test prints a hexadecimal dump of all data sent to the printer: “1” prints as
hexadecimal 31, “A” as hexadecimal 41 and so on. This helps troubleshoot communication
problems and runs during a normal application (after being enabled in level 1 diagnostics).
Enter the Data Scope Mode
Note: The operator panel may differ depending on the model. To turn the printer on or
off, (on-line or off-line), use a paper clip or other pointed object to depress the plunger (in
place of the On Line button) on models with that item.
Caution: The DIP switches are pre-set at the factory and should generally not be changed.
If you must change them, do so carefully to avoid changing other functions.
