When the printer is in hex dump mode, it prints each code that it receives in hexadecimal notation and ASCII characters. Also

character to produce extremely high-speed printing.

landscape
Printing that is oriented sideways on the page. This orientation gives you a page that is wider than it is high and is useful for
printing spreadsheets.

readability and appearance at a reduced print speed.
