Hex Dump
The Star La&Printer 8111 can also operate in hexadecimal mode. This
means that it will print information sent to it in its equivalent hexadecimal
notation (in base 16 numbers). This mode is useful in correcting commu-
nication incompatibilities between some computers and the Star
LaserPrinter 8111, that can result in incorrect text or formatting. For
information on performing a Hex Dump, see the Chapter “Troubleshoot-
ing.”
SELF TEST
The Star LaserPrinter 8111’s test print provides a complete summary of what
it is currently capable of doing for you. It shows the quality of the printing
of text. It summarizes the printer’s configuration, including amount of
memory and which fonts are installed or available. It explains how the
printed page will look at the current settings. This includes paper size, page
orientation, and whether the text is centered on the page or offset for left and
right pages. It tells whether the parallel or serial interface is active, and what
the settings are for serial communication, should it become active.
