Press the PAUSE button while turning on the printer to put it in hexadecimal dump

received data from the host.
If a received code is not a printable ASCII character, the
printer prints a period (.) in the ASCII column.
See Tables 3-10 and 3- 11 for a hex listing of the commands acceptable to this printer.
