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 (.).
For instructions on how to enable and disable Hex Dump mode, see
page page 112. Figure 15 shows an example of a hex dump.
