Read Back of
information
The AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 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
Printers.
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 enabled, 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 actually being sent to the printer, which is a useful
debugging facility for more difficult printing problems.
Example: Follow the instructions below to enable the hex dump mode for PR3:
1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select Admin | Logical
Printers.
2. Select the PR3 tab.
3. Set the Hex Dump Mode Enabled radio button to YES.
4. Click OK.
Note:
The page length for hex dump printouts is determined by the lines per page value of the
PostScript page format parameter.
