Hex Dump Mode
This option allows you to place the printer into the ªhex dumpº mode, in which the printer will output a hexadecimal data stream.
When enabled, the hex dump mode translates all host interface data to its hexadecimal equivalent, then prints the hex code and its printable symbol, if one exists. Figure 3±8 shows a partial example of a hex dump.
All characters printed after entering the hex dump mode (including any in the input buffer) are printed in two forms: as a two±symbol hexadecimal code and as its printable symbol, if any. A non±printable code is printed as a period [.] symbol. Up to 16 characters can be printed per line. No control codes will be acted upon by the printer while in hex dump mode.
The 16 characters are formatted so that the 16 printable symbols are printed in columns 1 through 16. The 17th column is blank. Column 18 contains either a p (PI line active) or a blank (PI not active). Columns 19 and 20 contain the hexadecimal code for the first character, followed by a blank. The PI line condition and hexadecimal code for the second character is printed in columns 22, 23, and 24, followed by a blank. The hexadecimal code for the 16th character is printed in columns 78, 79, and 80.
Subsequent printing observes the current setting for skip±over perforation, form length, and top±of±form position parameters.
Cancel the hex dump mode (while off±line), by disabling it from the control panel. The paper then may be advanced to the next top±of±form.
If a fault occurs while printing a hex dump, the printer reverts to the normal fault state. When the fault is cleared, the printer resumes printing the hex dump (either a partial line with a form feed, or nothing at all). Top±of±form remains unaffected.
NOTE: Hex dump mode may not be selected when the Twinax or Coax interface is selected. Refer to the Coax/Twinax or IPDS manual to see how to get a Coax or Twinax buffer dump.
