TK14 OPERATION MANUAL

3.6.3- Hexadecimal dump mode

In this mode, all the data received from the host system is printed, without processing any command, in hexadecimal and its corresponding ASCII.

This mode can be very helpful for the application developer during the setup test time, as it allows to detect and eliminate possible errors (as out of range parameters, non valid command sequences, errors in the communication channel, etc.), comparing what it has theoretically been sent to the printer to what it is really being received.

To enter hexadecimal mode, proceed with the following steps:

a)Keeping the paper advance button (FEED) and program button (PROG) pressed, switch the power on.

b)The TK14 will print the text ‘~~~~HEXADECIMAL MODE~~~~’, and it will remain waiting for receiving data. As soon as the received bytes received complete one line (9 bytes), they will be printed automatically.

Turn off the printer to quit the hexadecimal mode.

Fig. 3.6- HEXADECIMAL DUMP mode example.

NOTES:

(1)For any received characters that are under 20h, the ASCII ‘.’ will be printed.

(2)During the hexadecimal dump mode, the DEL EOT command does not work.

(3)It must be taken into account that if the number of bytes is not bigger than the minimum amount required to print one line (9 bytes), the TK14 will not print. It is recommended to complete the hexadecimal dump by sending at least 9 bytes (for example 00h).

(4)It is also possible to enter the hexadecimal mode through the GS ( A command.
