Use Appendix A to translate any character codes from hexadecimal
if the guide part of the line is not sufficiently helpful.
A hex printout of a program shows you exactly what the printer is

for your computer system.

Put the printer in data dump mode and then RUN the program.
Remember to press the ON LINE button to make the
GX-80
print
the final line. Then compare your printout with the list of hex codes
in order in the middle columns of page A-2 in Appendix A. If any
are skipped or repeated, you will know that your BASIC language
changes some codes before it sends them to the printer.
The data dumping capability can help you debug a program quickly.
Appendices A to C will help you translate the hex codes to ASCII
equivalents.
