Read-back of
Information
The Axis Network Print Server supports bi-directional printing. The
information from the printer is read back on the parallel port when the
parameter Read Back Port (PRx_IN) has the default setting of AUTO.
However, it is required that the printer also supports bi-directional
printing.
Please refer to your printer documentation for further details regarding
bi-directional printing support.
Example: Follow the instructions below to disable the bi-directional communication
for logical printer PR1:
1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select Admin | Logical Printer
Settings.
2. Select the PR1 tab.
3. Set the Read Back Port parameter to NONE.
4. Click the OK button.
Debugging using the
Hex Dump Mode
When hex dump mode is activated, the print data is printed as
hexadecimal byte values rather than characters; printer control
commands are also printed as hex values. This allows you to inspect what
control and print characters are being sent to the printer, which is a
useful debugging facility for the more difficult printing problems.
Example: Follow the instructions below to activate the hex dump mode for PR3:
1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select Admin | Logical Printer
Settings.
2. Select the Printer3 tab.
3. Set the Hex Dump Mode Enabled radio button to YES.
4. Click the OK button.
Note: The page length for hex dump printouts is determined by the lines per page
value of the PostScript page format parameter.
