19.8 Printing Control Characters
The LA600 MultiPrinter supports Control Representation Mode (CRM), which
can be set by the CRM command or by the ‘‘HEX DUMP’’ selection from the
Operator’s Panel. If CRM is set by command, it can be disabled by command
only; likewise, if CRM is set from the Operator’s Panel, the mode must be
disabled the same way.
With CRM set, the LA600 MultiPrinter provides simultaneously a hexadecimal
representation of the data received and the character representation for
printable characters, in the format illustrated by Figure 19–1.

The printer uses the currently active settings for paper source and paper exit
and forces horizontal pitch 12 cpi. When the printer exits CRM, the modified
settings return to the values that were active before CRM was initiated.
