Data Dump Mode
To interpret the data dump printout examine the first three hex codes on the second line of the printout sample (20 20 54). Each hex code 20 represents a space; hex code 54 represents the letter T. The corresponding text field line on the right side of the printout contains the letter T preceded by two spaces.
The chart below interprets the first six codes.
