Example:
Note:
The AXIS 560/660 supports bi-directional printing. The information
from the printer is read back on the parallel port when the parameter
Read Back Port (PRx_IN) has the default setting of AUTO. However,
it is required that the printer also supports bi-directional printing.
Please refer to your printer documentation for further details regarding
bi-directional printing support.
Follow the instructions below to disable the bi-directional
communication for logical printer PR1:
1. Select the Printer1 Web page.
2. Set the Read Back Port parameter to NONE.
3. Click the Submit Printer1 settings button.
When hex dump mode is activated, the print data is printed as
hexadecimal byte values rather than characters; printer control
commands are also printed as hex values. This allows you to inspect
what control and print characters are being sent to the printer, which
is a useful debugging facility for the more difficult printing problems.
Follow the instructions below to activate the hex dump mode for PR3:
1. Select the Printer3 Web page.
2. Set the Hex Dump Mode Enabled radio button to YES.
3. Click the Submit Printer3 settings button.
The page length for hex dump printouts is determined by the
lines per page value of the PostScript page format parameter.
