that the printer is loaded with the widest paper available in order to avoid
damage to the print head and platen.
Hexadecimal dump
This procedure prints in hexadecimal format all codes (character codes
and control codes) that are sent to the printer by the computer. The printer
does not execute any control codes (such as 0A - linefeed), it just prints
them out. The hexadecimal dump is useful when you are writing
programs for printer control.
1. Make sure that paper is loaded in the printer.
2. Turn off the printer.
3. While holding down the control panel’s SET/PARK/EJECT button,
turn the printer back on to enter the Hex Dump Mode.
4. To exit the Hex Dump Mode, turn the printer off.
