Hex Dump Mode - Lexmark 2380 - Forms Printer B/W Dot-matrix Service Manual

Hex Dump Mode

The hex dump mode can help the user test and troubleshoot
programs. You can use the hex dump procedure to get a
hexadecimal printout of the data stream sent to the printer. All data,
including both control and character data, print in hexadecimal
instead of ASCII.
To activate hex dump mode:
1. Press and hold Alt and then turn the printer on.
2. After a few seconds, release Alt.
3. Start your application program. Be sure the printout is similar to
the hex dump sample shown. Two hexadecimal digits, followed
by a space, are printed for each byte of data sent to the printer.
4. The printer continues to print in hexadecimal until you turn the
printer off.
