Hexadecimal Dumping Mode - Epson TM-P60II Technical Reference Manual

Hexadecimal dumping mode

In hexadecimal dumping mode, data from the host computer is printed in hexadecimal numbers and charac-
ters. By comparing the print outs and the program, you can check whether or not data is being sent to the
printer correctly.
 The hexadecimal dumping mode can only be executed in the label continuous issuing mode. If
executed in the label peeler issuing mode, a paper layout error occurs when paper is detected by
the label peeler sensor.
 When there are no characters that correspond to the print data, " . " is printed.
 If you press the FEED button when there is less than one line of print data, one line is printed.
 During hexadecimal dumping mode, applications that check the printer status may not operate
correctly. The printer only returns the status for the "Real-time transmission status" command.
Follow the steps below.
1
Open the roll paper cover.
2
While pressing the FEED button, turn on the printer. (Hold down the FEED button
until the Error LED turns on.)
3
Close the roll paper cover.
From this point, all data received by the printer is printed in the corresponding hexadecimal num-
bers and ASCII characters.
Example of printing in hexadecimal dumping mode
