Printing A Hex Dump
A hex code printout (or hex dump) is a translation of all host interface data to
its hexadecimal equivalent, listing all ASCII character data received from the
host computer with their corresponding two-digit hexadecimal codes. Hex
dumps are used to troubleshoot printer data reception problems.
Printable characters print as the assigned symbol; nonprintable characters
are indicated by a period (.).
Figure 26 shows an example of a hex dump.
