6. Hex Dump
Mode
(continued)
EXAMPLE:
The capital letter A is a HEX 41. Find the letter A on
the above chart, and look towards the top of the chart
(MSB) and locate the HEX number 4. Then look to the
left side of the chart (LSB) and locate the HEX number
1. Therefore the HEX number is MSB=4 and LSB 1=
41.
This chart can be easily understood by memorizing
five HEX codes: Capital A is 41 Hex, numbers are 30’s
(0 is 30 HEX, 1 is 31 HEX etc.), Carriage Return (CR) is
0D, Line Feed (LF) is 0A and Form Feed is 0C.
When HEX Mode is disabled, a typical address will be
printed on a single envelope. When Hex Mode is
enabled, the same address will be printed on several
envelopes (3 to 5) because HEX codes are two digits
each separated by brackets. Since a capital letter A is
a Hex [41], there are 4 elements printed for each
character of the address.
When reviewing addresses printed in HEX mode, start
from the end of the address (ZIP Code 30’s number)
and count backward toward the beginning of the
address. Count the number of CRs [0D] and LFs [0A].
Verify that the printer’s address setup has the same
number of CRs and LFs as the address printed. If
there is a variation in the number of CRs or LFs be-
tween addresses, then the address MUST be termi-
nated with a (form feed) FF [0C] (within the data sent
to the printer).
When you’re finished using this option, use the Menu
button to back out of the menu until the printer dis-
plays OFF LINE . Then press the ON LINE button and
send addresses to the printer.
