Printing Hex Dumps
The HEX-DUMP function prints data and commands in hexadecimal
characters and abbreviated control codes. The IBM character set 2 is
used for printing (see Appendix E). The HEX-DUMP function is useful
for checking whether your computer is sending the correct commands to
the printer and whether the printer is executing the commands correctly.
It is also useful for debugging software programs.
