5.1 Hex Dump Mode

The hex dump mode is a useful tool for diagnosing problems, including communication and programming syntax errors. This mode allows a comparison of input strings to output data. Repeatedly sending a format can uncover handshaking problems (identified by sections of missing data in the output string). To decode this hexadecimal code and its printable ASCII equivalents, the DPL Programmer’s Manual or the DTPL Programmer’s Manual is an essential reference. As a final note, many software programs use bit mapping to construct the ticket, making diagnosis difficult. Contact a Datamax Technical Support Representative with any questions.

To enter the Hex Dump Mode:

ŒWith ticket stock loaded, turn ‘Off’ the printer.

•Press and hold the FEED button while turning ‘On’ the printer. Continue to hold the button until the tickets feed forward.

After a brief hesitation, Configuration and Test Pattern Tickets will be printed. After this, any data reaching the printer’s input buffer will be output in hex/ASCII data, as follows:

þNote: To exit the hex dump mode, cycle the printer power ‘Off’ and ‘On’.
