Hex Code Printout
The hex code printout (called a hex dump) provides a listing of ASCII character data sent from
the host with their corresponding two-digit hex code. Nonprintable characters are indicated
with a period symbol. A p" before the hex code indicates an active Paper Instruction (PI) line;
a blank space before the hex code indicates an inactive PI line. To print the data stream sent
