Printing a HELP Menu In Tech Access Mode
2–2
Use Hex Dumps to check printer functions and data processing operations. They may also be
helpful in resolving printer performance. These dumps are located in the Configuration menu,
Printer category, under the Dump Mode parameter in normal menu operations. There are three
styles of Dump Modes on the printer:
Style 1
Text, spaces, and control codes print out in hexadecimal format.
Make sure that wide paper (136 columns — 13+ inches of printable width) is loaded on the
printer before running a Style 1 Hex Dump.
Style 2
Control codes print out in hexadecimal format while text and spaces print out in
their original form.
Style 3
Control codes and spaces print in hexadecimal format, while text prints out in its
original form.
There are fifteen printouts and displays accessible through the printer control panel. The first
printout is the Help menu and the rest are Printer Reports (Current Config, All Configs, Configs
1-10, Calibrations, Last Fault, and Version). These reports can be accessed via the Configuration
menu, Printer category, under the Report parameter.
The Help menu is a printout that lists selections that are available for each parameter in the
multilevel menus on the printer and indicates with an asterisk (*) which ones are currently
active.
Before printing out the Help menu, make sure that there is at least 13 inches of printable
width on the installed paper.

the Help menu.
STEP 4.
