Test function
Hex Dump With the interface mode (Hex-Dump/H-Dump) you can diagnose data
transmission from the computer to the printer. In this special mode, the
data from the computer is printed out in two columns. The text in the
left column is printed in hexadecimal format and in the right column in
ASCII format. This can be used to diagnose print problems.
Some applications require status response from the printer. In
such case Hex Dump is ineffective for diagnosing problems. In
these cases contact your customer support or dealer for assi-
stance.
