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.

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 nonprintable 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. (See Figure 3±15.)

The 16 characters are formatted so that the 16 printable symbols are printed in columns 1 through 16. Columns 17 and 18 are blank. Columns 18 and 19 contain the hexadecimal code for the first character, followed by two blanks. The hexadecimal code for the 16th character is printed in columns 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.

PTX_SETUP Option

This option selects the special function control code for the PTX_SETUP command and functions. The legal values are 1h ± FF, which represent the ASCII code (in hexadecimal) of the character used as the SFCC for the PTX_SETUP command. The default value is 21h, which corresponds to the ª!º character.
