Hexadecimal Dump - Epson U325PD - TM B/W Dot-matrix Printer User Manual

Hexadecimal Dump

This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is
coming to the printer. This can be useful in finding software
problems. When you turn on the hex dump function, the printer
prints all commands and other data in hexadecimal format along
with a guide section to help you find specific commands.
To use the hexadecimal dump feature, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the printer while you hold down the FEED button; then
close the cover.
2. When the printer enters the hexadecimal dump mode, it prints
"Hexadecimal Dump."
3. Run any software program that sends data to the printer. The
printer prints all the codes it receives in a two-column format.
The first column contains the hexadecimal codes and the
second column gives the ASCII characters that correspond to
the codes.
