Hexadecimal Dump
This function prints data transmitted from the host computer in hexadecimal numbers and in
their corresponding ASCII characters.
Performing a Hexadecimal Dump
1. Turn the printer power off.
2. Set DIP switch 1-2 to on to select 40 bytes for the receive buffer capacity.
3. Turn the power on while pressing the FEED button.
4. Before finishing the initialization of the printer, release the FEED button, then press the FEED
button again. The printer first prints “Hexadecimal Dump” on the paper roll, and prints the
data received thereafter in hexadecimal numbers and their corresponding characters until
the printer is turned off.
NOTES:
❏
“.” is printed if no printable ASCII character corresponds to the data received.
❏
Control commands are printed in bold for emphasis.
❏
During the hexadecimal dump, all commands except DLE EOT and DLE ENQ are disabled.
❏
Insufficient print data to fill the last line can be printed by taking the printer off line. (See “Switching between on
line and off line“ earlier in this chapter.)
