Hexadecimal dump
This feature is useful for programmers who are debugging printing programs
and want to see the actual codes the printer is receiving, (Some computers

This mode is accessed with the following procedure:

characters printed on the right.
3. At the end of the hexadecimal dump, set the printer off-line with the
ON LINE
]
button. This is necessary to print the last line,
