6.If you are still unable to get printer output, try the Hex Dump as described in Step 5 under the Parallel Interface troubleshooting. In this case, the printer monitors its RS232C interface for incoming data.

7.From the Hex Dump, if you are seeing no extra 0D 0A (CR & LF) characters, and are using BASIC, refer to the beginning of the Command Code section. It provides hints for writing a SATO program in BASIC.
