Printing a Hex Dump

A hex code printout (or hex dump) is a translation of all host interface data to

its hexadecimal equivalent, listing all ASCII character data received from the

host computer with their corresponding two-digit hexadecimal codes. Hex

dumps are used to troubleshoot printer data reception problems.

Printable characters print as the assigned symbol; nonprintable characters

are indicated by a period (.).

Figure 2 shows an example of a hex dump.
