Hex Print Mode; Power On State; Paper Jam Detection; Forms Speed - IBM 6500 User Manual

Hex Print Mode

A hex code printout (or hex dump) translates all incoming data to hexadecimal
equivalents. A hex dump lists each ASCII data character received from the host
computer, together with its corresponding two-digit hexadecimal code. Hex dumps
can be used to troubleshoot some types of printer data reception problems.

v Enable
Refer to page 227 to obtain a hex code printout.

Power On State

This parameter allows you to configure the printer to power on in the READY or
NOT READY mode.
v Ready (the default)
v Not Ready

Paper Jam Detection

This parameter determines whether or not paper jam detection is active.
v Enable (the default). Detects paper jams.
v Disables. Disables paper jam checking to prevent false errors.
Attention: When paper jam detection is disabled, the printer does not monitor
paper motion. If a paper jam occurs, the printer ignores the condition and
continues to print, possibly causing severe damage to the printer.

Forms Speed

FORMS SPEED affects the speed at which paper moves into the stacking area of
the printer.
v Normal Speed (the default) will slew and stack paper, such as single-sheet data
v Slow Speed will slew and stack at a slower pace. This ensures that forms, such
