Printing a Hex Dump

If you are an experienced user or a programmer, you can print a hexadecimal dump to isolate communication problems between the printer and your software program. In hex dump mode, the printer prints all data received from the computer as hexadecimal values.

You can print a hex dump using either single sheets or continuous paper.

Note:

Use continuous paper that is at least 241 mm wide or A4 or letter size single-sheet paper.
