Hex Trace Mode

The hex trace mode helps the user test and troubleshoot programs. Use the hex trace procedure to get a hexadecimal printout of the data stream sent to the printer. All data, including both control and character data, print in hexadecimal instead of ASCII.

To activate hex trace mode:

1.Press and hold Tractor and then turn the printer on.

2.After a few seconds, release Tractor and the lights go out.

3.Start your application program. Be sure the printout is similar to the hex trace sample shown. Two hexadecimal digits, followed by a space, are printed for each byte of data sent to the printer.

4.The printer continues to print in hexadecimal until you turn the printer off.
