2. To enter hex dump mode, hold down both the
buttons while you press the
Load/Eject
turn on the printer.
3. Open a software program and send a print job to the
printer. Your printer prints all the codes it receives in
hexadecimal format.
If characters are printable, they appear in the right column
as ASCII characters. Nonprintable codes, such as control
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 turn off hex dump mode, press the
the printed page(s), and then turn off the printer.
Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it
thoroughly several times a year. Follow these steps:
1. Remove any paper loaded in the printer, and turn off the
printer. Then remove the paper guide. If an optional cut-
sheet feeder is installed, remove it.
2. Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt
from the outer case and paper guide.
3. If the outer case or paper guide is still dirty, clean it with a
soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent dissolved in
water. Keep the printer cover and front cover closed to
prevent water from getting inside the printer.
Caution:
Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer;
these chemicals can damage the printer components
as well as the case.
Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism
or electronic components.
Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.
Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants;
unsuitable lubricants can damage the printer
mechanism. Contact an EPSON dealer if you think
lubrication is needed.
