Hexadecimal dump

This feature is useful for programmers who am debugging printing programs and want to see the actual codes the printer is receiving. (Some computers change the codes the programmer intended.)

In this mode, all data received will be printed in a hexadecimal dump format, rather than the control codes being acted on as command codes.

This mode is accessed with the following procedure:

 

1. While holdingboththe 1 PAPER FEED 1and Iak&ZzT

buttons down,

turn power ON. A beep tone will be heard.

 

2.Begin printing. In place of the usual printout you will get a formatted dump showing exactly what data the printer receives. Each line presents sixteen characters, their hexadecimal codes to the left and printable characters printed on the right.

3.At the end of the hexadecimal dump, set the printer off-line with the 1 ON LINE 1 button. This is necessary to print the last line.

The following BASIC program is a simple test you can nm in hexadecimal mode:

10 WIDTH “LPT1:“,255

20 FOR I=0 TO 255

30 LPRINT CHRB(I):

40 NEXT I

50LPRINT

60END

If your system passes the codes directly to the printer without changing them, you will get a printout like Figure 5-5.
