HEX DUMP MODE

4–88
This printer has a useful hex dump mode for checking the print data sent
from your computer. The printer lists the print data in hexadecimal form.
To enter the hex dump mode, follow these steps:
1. Check the power state.
2. Operate the switches according to the power state.
• If the printer has been turned off, turn on the printer.
The printer starts the self-test and the display shows the following
message.
04 SELF TEST
• If the printer has been turned on, reset the printer with the RESET
switch.
1) Press the SEL switch to set the printer off-line.
2) Hold down the SHIFT switch and press the RESET switch.
The display will show "RESET PRINTER".
3) Press the SET switch with the "RESET PRINTER" selected.
The printer begins its reset and the display shows the following
message alternately.
08 RESET TO
3. Press the CONTINUE/SHIFT switch.
The printer checks the CONTINUE/SHIFT switch at the end of self-
test or printer reset. If the switch is held down, the printer enters the
hex dump mode and goes on-line. The display will show the message
"HEX DUMP MODE" and the printer will return to the on-line state.
Note
If the printer returns to the on-line state without displaying the message
"HEX DUMP MODE", you did not press the CONTINUE/SHIFT switch
immediately after pressing the SET switch. Try the above steps once
again.
