Hex Print Mode
A hex code printout (or hex dump) translates all incoming data to hexadecimal

This parameter determines whether or not paper jam detection is active.
Enable (the default). Detects paper jams.
Disable. Disables paper jam checking to prevent false errors.
ATTENTION

area of the printer.
Normal Speed (the default). Will slew and stack paper, such as single-

Slow Speed. Will slew and stack at a slower pace. This ensures that
forms, such as multiple-sheet (i.e. invoice), will stack more neatly.
