Hexadecimal Dump - Star Micronics XB24-200 User Manual

Hexadecimal dump
This feature is useful for programmers who am debugging printing programs
and want to see the actual codes the printer is receiving. (Some computers
change the codes the programmer intended.)
In this mode, all data received will be printed in a hexadecimal dump format,
rather than the control codes being acted on as command codes.
This mode is accessed with the following procedure:
1. While holding
both the I PAPER FEED I
and IBt;.!ZFl buttons down,
turn power ON. A beep tone will be head and the "HEX DUMP MODE"
message on the display.
2. Begin printing. In place of the usual printout you will get a formatted
dump showing exactly what data the printer receives. Each line presents
sixteen characters, their hexadecimal codes to the left and printable
characters printed on the right.
3. At the end of the hexadecimal dump, set the printer off-line with the
1
ON LINF
I button. This is necessary to print the last line.
The following BASIC program is a simple test you can run in hexadecimal
mode:
10 WIDTH "LPT1:",255
20 FOR I=0 TO 255
30 LPRINT CHR$(I);
40 NEXT I
50 LPRINT
60 END
