3.4 Hex Dump Mode

Hex Dump Mode is a diagnostic tool for isolating communications and DPL syntax errors,

by allowing input (host) data to output (printer) data comparisons. All data received by the

printer will be output in hexadecimal code along with the printable ASCII equivalents, as

shown below. To identify possible handshaking problems, repeatedly send the format and

sections of missing data can become apparent. To debug DPL label formats reference the

Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual.

After sending a label format to the printer, the output will be immediate and in the form

shown below. As a final note, many software programs use bit mapping to construct the

label making diagnosis difficult. Contact Datamax-O’Neil Technical Support with any

questions.

To print a Hex Dump, load four-inch wide media (and ribbon, if thermal transfer printing)

then proceed according to the type:

• Non-Display Models: Turn ON the printer. Then, when all three lights turn ON, press and

hold FEED until the

STOP Light

turns OFF.



Note: To exit Hex Dump Mode, turn the printer OFF and ON.

• Display-Equipped Models: Turn ON the printer. Enter DIAGNOSTICS and enable HEX

DUMP MODE. Exit the menu and save the changes.



Note: To exit Hex Dump Mode, enter DIAGNOSTICS and disable HEX DUMP MODE

then exit the menu, saving the changes.
