Using Set-Up Mode

Hex Dump Mode

The Hex Dump mode prints data and commands in hexadecimal characters and abbreviated control codes. The ASCII characters are used for printing. No characters are printed for hexadecimal codes 80 to FF. The Hex Dump mode is useful for checking whether your computer is sending the correct commands to the printer and whether the printer is executing the commands correctly. It is also useful for debugging software programs.

To start the Hex Dump mode, make sure that continuous forms paper is loaded into the printer. Enter the Set-Up mode and follow these steps:

1.Start the Hex Dump mode (select the HEX-DUMPoption).

Repeatedly press the button to position the red cursor under HEX-DUMP, and then

press the button or the button. The printer selects (underlines) HEX-DUMP, goes ready and prints a header at the top of the page.

Note: You cannot switch back to Set-Up mode from Hex Dump mode. Do not change any value before entering Hex Dump mode, because your changes will be lost.

2.Print the hex dump.

To start hex dump printing, send your file or program to the printer. The printer goes online and prints the hex dump.

Press the Pause button to pause and resume printing in Hex Dump mode. To resume hex dump printing, press the Pause button again.

To print another hex dump, send another file to the printer.

3.Exit the Hex Dump mode

Turn the printer off to exit the Hex Dump mode.

Caution: If you changed any settings in Set-Up mode before starting Hex Dump mode, these changes are lost.
