5. Hexadecimal Dump
This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is coming to the printer. This can
be useful in finding software problems.
When you turn on the hex dump function, the printer prints all commands and other data in
hexadecimal format along with a guide section to help you find specific commands.
To use the hex dump feature, follow these steps
1. After you make sure that the printer is off and Dip s/w 1-2 is ON, turn on the printer.

Dump” and then all the codes it receives in a two-column format. The first column contains the
hexadecimal codes and the second column gives the ASCⅡ characters that correspond to the
codes.
