Printing a Hex Dump

A hex code printout (or hex dump) is a translation of all host interface data to its hexadecimal equivalent,
listing all ASCII character data received from the host computer with their corresponding two-digit
hexadecimal codes. Hex dumps are used to troubleshoot printer data reception problems.
Printable characters print as the assigned symbol; nonprintable characters are indicated by a period (.).
Figure 44 shows an example of a hex dump.
