A hex code printout (or hex dump) translates all incoming data to hexadecimal equivalents. A hex dump lists each ASCII data character received from the host computer, together with its corresponding two-digit hexadecimal code. Hex dumps can be used to troubleshoot some types of printer data reception problems. Figure 47 on page 140 shows a hex dump sample. Disable is the default.

•Offline. The printer powers up in the offline state.

Display Language
