nHex dump

Can you guess what a “hex dump” is? No, it’s not where witches throw away useless spells. A hex dump is an advanced ability of your printer that you can use, in certain cases, to find a problem with your system. Fortunately, such problems rarely arise but the hex dump is available if one does. We’ll go over hex dump in Chapter 4. Right now, we’ll just tell you how to make a hex dump:

1.Plug in the printer (don’t turn it on yet).

2.Insert a sheet of paper, as you did for the self-tests.

3.While holding down both the Paper Feed and Mode keys, turn on the power switch.

W Panel mode

As you’ll learn in Chapter 5, this printer has many software controls. But if you want to print in one mode, ignoring the con- trol codes, the “Panel” mode takes effect for you. To set the “Panel” mode, follow the procedures:

1.Plug in the printer (don’t turn it on yet).

2.While holding down the Mode key, turn on the power switch.

<Notice that this mode stays on until you turn off the printer.

nItalic mode

Sometimes, you may want to print with italic characters with Draft mode as the power-on default. You can set the Italic mode with the following procedures:

1.Plug in the printer (don’t turn it on yet).

2.While holding the Bold key, turn on the power switch.

This mode stays on until you send the cancel command to your printer. This mode re-activates when you send the reset command to your printer.

nItalic and Panel mode

You can combine with the “Panel” mode and the “Italic” mode at a time. To set these modes at a time follow the pro- cedures below:
