Char 09 HT
The factory default is Char 02 STX.
Graphic Chek Cod
Specifies the replacement character to print in place of any unprintable

through FE. The character becomes the printer default when:

The printer is powered off and then powered on.

The range is 40 through F4, and the factory default is 60.
Graphic Chek Err

Enable. The host setting for the SGEA used by the printer. If the SGEA
command is requested to stop on graphic errors, the printer will stop
when a graphic error is detected.

Disable. Ignores the SGEA command from the host. The printer does not
stop when an error is detected; instead, it substitutes the character
selected in the Graphic Chek Code parameter.
The factory default is Enable.

Hexdump Mode

Hexdump mode allows you to place the printer into the "hex dump" mode, in
which the printer outputs a hexadecimal data stream. The purpose of
hexdump mode is to see exactly what data is received by the printer, in order
to debug forms, for example.
When enabled, the hexdump mode translates all host interface data to its
hexadecimal equivalent, then prints the hex code and its printable symbol, if
one exists. Figure 5 shows a partial example of a hex dump.
After the printer enters hexdump mode, all characters it prints (including any
in the printer's input buffer) are printed in two forms: as a two-symbol
hexadecimal code and as the character's printable symbol (if it has one). A
non-printable code is printed as a period [.] symbol. Up to 16 characters can
be printed per line of hexdump printout. While the printer is in hexdump mode,
it does not act upon any control codes, other than to print their hexadecimal
equivalents.
