Printing the
Parameter List
The Parameter List shows the complete configuration. A selection of
parameters are described on page 68. To print the Parameter List, do
as follows:
1. Switch the AX-3 Cobra+ and the printer off and on. Make sure
that your printer is on-line.
2. Set the rotary switch to ‘9’, and wait for approx. 3 seconds until
the SYSTEM indicator starts to flash. You are now in the Test
Mode.
3. Set the rotary switch to ‘8’ to start the printout.
4. Set the rotary switch to ‘9’ when the printout is completed. The
SYSTEM indicator will stop flashing.
5. Select the device address to resume normal print operation.
Producing Hexdumps
A hexdump is a printout where the input data stream is printed as
hexadecimal byte values rather than being interpreted as characters
and control codes. The AX-3 Cobra+ features two different types of
hexdump modes:
• System hexdump
This mode will trap the input SCS data before the character and
control code conversion. The data is printed as EBCDIC
hexadecimal values.
• ASCII hexdump
The input data is converted to ASCII hexadecimal values after the
character and control code conversion but before printing. This
mode is useful if you want to see what printer control command a
certain IBM control code corresponds to.
To produce a hexdump, do as follows:
1. Switch the printer and AX-3 Cobra+ off and on.
2. Set the rotary switch to ‘9’, and wait for approx. 3 seconds until
the SYSTEM indicator starts to flash. You are now in the Test
Mode.
