Operation Modes
The printer can be operated in the following modes:
Normal (Remote mode)
In this state, the printer is being controlled by the host through the serial, parallel or USB interfaces.
Dump mode
In this mode advanced users and programmers can identify communication problems between the host and the printer or check if a certain programmed data is correctly being sent to the printer, thus being a debugging tool. To start the hexadecimal dumping, turn on the printer while pressing the paper feed switch. A message will be printed on the paper asking you to press once more the paper feed switch if Dump mode is desired, as shown:
