6.2Hex Dump Mode

The hex dump mode is a useful tool for diagnosing problems, including communication and DPLsyntax errors, allowing a comparison of input strings (sent by host) to output data (received by printer). To decode this information, the Programmer’s Manual is an essential reference. This output can be used for debugging the label format. And by repeatedly sending a format, this mode can uncover handshaking problems (if they exist). Handshaking problems are identified by sections of missing data in the character string.

To begin, go to the Diagnostics menu and enable Hex Dump Mode; see Section

4.1.6.Exit the menu, save changes and returning to the ‘READY’ mode. Now all data sent to the printer will now be output in hexadecimal code, along with the printable ASCII equivalents.

The figure below is a sample Hex Dump Label. After sending a label format to the printer, the hex code output will be immediate. As a final note, many software programs use bit mapping to construct the label, making diagnosis difficult. Contact a Technical Support Representative with any questions.

Note: To exit the hex dump mode, re-enter the Diagnostics Menu and disable the Hex Dump Mode, exit the menu, then save the changes to return to the ‘READY’ mode.
