AXIS 5400+ / AXIS 5600+ User's Manual
The AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ supports bi-directional printing. The
information from the printer is read back on the parallel port when the
parameter Read Back Port (PRx_IN.) has the default setting of AUTO.
However, it is required that the printer also supports bi-directional
printing.
Please refer to your printer documentation for further details regarding
bi-directional printing support.
Follow the instructions below to disable the bi-directional communication
for logical printer PR1:
1. From the print server's internal Web page, select Admin | Logical

When hex dump mode is enabled, the print data is printed as hexadecimal
byte values rather than characters; printer control commands are also
printed as hex values. This allows you to inspect what control and print
characters are actually being sent to the printer, which is a useful
debugging facility for more difficult printing problems.
Follow the instructions below to enable the hex dump mode for PR3:
1. From the print server's internal Web page, select Admin | Logical
Printers. Printers. Printers. Printers.
2. Select the PR3 PR3 tab. PR3 PR3
