5. Hex Dump Mode
The information provided here is for those of our cus-
tomers who are technically inclined.
The Hex Dump Mode option causes the printer to print
all com mands and data it receives from the computer
in a hexa dec i mal format. Use this feature to check the
integrity of your data. When you enable this option,
instead of ad dress es print ing, a Hex dump of the data
stream prints on the material. To use this option, the
printer must be attached to a computer.
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 en-
abled, the same address will be printed on several en-
velopes (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 re view ing addresses printed in Hex mode, start
from the end of the address and count back ward 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 between addresses, then the address MUST be ter-
minated 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
its normal operating screen. Then press the On Line
button and send ad dress es to the printer.
