Stay in panel style

If held down during power-up, the (STYLE)button prevents software inter- ference with the font style selected from the control panel. There will be an acknowledging beep, after which you can set the printer off-line, select a font style, then return to the on-line state and start printing. The selected font style will not be changed by any commands sent by software.

If you want to protect both the pitch and font style settings from software changes, press the (PITcHJand (S31 buttons during power-up. There will be a little long acknowledging beep.

Pressing these buttons during power-up does not prevent you from making any number of changes later from the control panel.

Hexadecimal dump

This feature is useful for programmers who are debugging printing pro- grams and want to see the actual codes the printer is receiving. (Some computers change the codes the programmer intended.)

In this mode, all received data will bc printed in a hexadecimal dump format, rather than the control codes being acted on as command codes.

This mode is accessed with the following procedure:

1.Holding both the (PAPER FEED) and ( sE;5!~CT ) buttons down, turn ,power ON. A beep tone will be heard.

2.Start printing. In place of the usual printout you will get a formatted dump showing exactly what data the printer receives. Each line presents sixteen characters, their hexadecimal codes to the left and printable characters printed on the right.

3.At the end of the hexadecimal dump, set the printer off-line with the ( ON LINE Ibutton. This is necessary to print the last line.
