GARBLED TEXT OF FORMATS/HEX DUMP
If the text as printed is not what you have sent from the computer, there may
be a compatibility problem involving the command set. To see exactly what
the printer is receiving, you may want to print text in hexadecimal, rather
than conventional ASCII text. This is what is called a hex dump, and can
be enabled from the printer’s front panel.
In Program mode, press [NEXT] until the screen displays
COMMAND
l Press [ENTER]
l Press [NEXT] until the screen reads

9 Press [NEXT] so that the screen moves to

l Press [ENTER] to select it.
For further information on using the hex dump to modify your software or
hardware, please consult an experienced programmer or other expert on
your system.
