Hex Print Mode - IBM 6400 Setup Manual

Port Type

from the hotport process. The available selections are:
Twinax (the default)
Coax
Disable
Timeout
This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and
check the other ports for data to print. When the printer has not received data
from the host after the specified period of time, it needs to Timeout in order
to service the other ports. The available selections are 10 to 180 seconds. The
default is 15 seconds.
Report Status
When this option is enabled, faults are reported even if the fault is not on the
current active port. If the option is disabled, a fault on the printer is reported
only if it occurs on the active ports.

Hex Print Mode

When enabled, the HEX PRINT MODE parameter prints the EBCDIC data
and control codes received from the host as hex values. Refer to page 6–9 to
obtain a hex code printout. Disable is the default condition.
NOTE: Printing in Hex Mode may alter print attributes set by the host
computer. A power cycle may be required after changing HEX
PRINT MODE from enable to disable.
