Hexadecimal Dumping Mode - Epson TM-T20 Technical Reference Manual

Hexadecimal Dumping Mode

In the hexadecimal dumping mode, the printer prints the data transmitted from a host computer
in hexadecimal numbers and their corresponding characters. It enables you to check if data is
transmitted to the printer correctly.

Follow the steps below to run this mode.
• If there is no character corresponding to print data, "." is printed.
• If print data is less than one line, press the Feed button to print the line.
• Applications that confirm printer status may not work correctly during the hexadecimal
dumping mode. The printer returns only the status for "Transmit real-time status."
