If you are an experienced user or a programmer, you can print a
hexadecimal dump to isolate communication problems between
the printer and your software program. In hex dump mode, the
printer prints all data received from the computer as
hexadecimal values.
You can print a hex dump using either single sheets or
continuous paper.
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.
2. To enter hex dump mode, hold down both the
buttons while you turn on the printer.

printer. Your printer prints all the codes it receives in
hexadecimal format.
If characters are printable, they appear in the right column

codes, are represented by dots. By comparing the characters
printed in the right column with the printout of the
hexadecimal codes, you can check the codes the printer is
receiving.
4. To exit hex dump mode, press the
