Hex Dump Mode - Brother HL-2400C Series User Manual

HEX DUMP MODE

This printer has a useful Hex Dump Mode for checking the print data sent
from your computer. The printer lists the print data in hexadecimal form.
To enter the hex dump mode, follow these steps:
1. Check the power state.
2. Operate the buttons according to the power state.
• If the printer has been turned off, turn on the printer.
The printer starts the self-test and the display shows the following
message.
• If the printer has been turned on, reset the printer with the Reset
button.
3. Hold down the Continue / Shift button.
The printer checks the Continue / Shift button at the end of self-test
or printer reset. If the button is held down, the printer enters the hex
dump mode and goes on-line. The display will show the message
"HEX DUMP MODE" and the printer will return to the on-line state.
Note
If the printer returns to the on-line state without displaying the message
"HEX DUMP MODE", you did not hold down the Continue / Shift
button immediately after pressing the Set button. Try the above steps
once again.
4. Send data from your computer.
When the printer receives data, it starts printing hexadecimal values of
the received data.
