Place the thermal paper roll on the printer.

Open the printer cover, then turn the power on while holding the FEED button.

When the cover is closed, “*** HEX DUMP PRINTING ***” is printed, and the printer enters

the Hexadecimal Dump Mode.

Each of the signals sent from the computer to the printer will be printed out in hexadecimal code.

This function allows you to check if a control code sent to the printer by the program being used

is correct or not. The nal line is not printed if its data is less than one full line. However, if

the FEED button is pushed, the nal line is printed. To turn off the mode, it is necessary to turn
