Hex dump causes data received from the host to be printed out in
ASCII form. A sample is shown below.
The hexadecimal printout is shown on the left side and the equivalent
plain text is shown on the same line at the right. Exceptions: ASCII
control code characters below hexadecimal 20 are printed out as
periods on the right side. An SP or hexadecimal 20 causes a blank
apace in the equivalent print position.
By examining the printout, you can see what data was actually sent
to the printer.
