Hexadecimal Dump
This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is coming
to the printer. This can be useful in finding software problems. When you
turn on the hexadecimal dump function, the printer prints all commands
and other data in hexadecimal format along with a guide section to
help you find specific commands.
To use the hexadecimal dump feature, follow these steps:
1)After you make sure that the printer is off, open the front cover of the printer.
2)Hold down the Feed button while you turn on the printer.
3)Close the front cover.
4)Run any software program that sends data to the printer. The printer prints
“Hexadecimal Dump” and then all the codes it receives in a two – column
format. The first column contains the hexadecimal codes and the second
column gives the ASCII characters that correspond to the codes.
5)When the printing finishes, turn off the printer.
A period(.) is printed for each code that has no ASCII equivalent.

Notice
Changes in DIP switch settings are recognized only when the printer power is
turned on or when the printer is reset by using the interface. If the DIP switch
setting is changed after the printer power is turned on, the change does not take
effect until the printer is turned on again or is reset.
