Print Data Stream in Hex Code

"Off-Line Hex Dump". From this point, pressing the ON LINE key on the
control panel toggles the display between "On-Line Hex Dump" and
"Off-Line Hex Dump".
A hex code printout (or hex dump) translates all incoming data to
hexadecimal equivalents. A hex dump lists each ASCII data character
received from the host computer, together with its corresponding two-digit
hexadecimal code. Hex dumps can be used to troubleshoot some types of
printer data reception problems.
For more information, see the section titled "Printing Hex Code" on page
5–14.

Print Statistics

The Print Statistics menu allows you to view various printer statistics on the
control panel display. These printer statistics also appear on your
configuration printout. Printer statistics accumulate continuously and provide
a record of certain printer operations. They do not reset when you turn off the
printer. Printer statistics are useful in determining hours of usage for
preventative maintenance purposes.
All of the printer statistics are set to zero at the factory after burn-in testing.
