Data Dump Mode - Epson 1000 Reference Manual

Data Dump Mode

The data dump mode is a special feature that makes it easy for
experienced users to find the cause of communication problems
between the printer and computer. The data dump mode
produces an exact printout of the codes reaching the printer.
1. Make sure that the printer is loaded with paper and turned
off.
2. Hold down the LEVEL 2 button while you turn on the
printer. Make sure you hold the button down until the
READY :X DUMP message appears. (X is the channel in
use.)
3. Run any program that causes the printer to print (either an
application program or a program written in any
programming language). Your printer prints out all of the
codes sent to it in hexadecimal format as shown in the
sample below.
