Running the Data Scope Mode

This test prints a Hex dump of all data sent to the printer: “1” prints as Hex 31, “A” as Hex 41 and so on. This helps troubleshoot communication problems, and runs during a normal host application (after being enabled in level 1 diagnostics).

Enter the Data Scope Mode

Caution: The DIP switches are set at the factory to predetermined settings and should generally not be changed. If you must change the settings, do so carefully to avoid changing other functions. Run the print test to see if the Data Scope Mode is on or off. See “Testing The Printer” On Page 23.
