Data Dump Mode - Epson EPL-8000 User Manual

Data Dump Mode

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. In data dump mode, the printer
produces an exact printout of the codes it receives.
1. Make sure that paper is loaded and the printer is off.
2. Hold down the SelecType button while you turn on the
printer. Make sure you hold the button down until you see
message HEX DUMP on the display.
3. Next, 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 the codes it
receives in hexadecimal format, as shown below.
