Hexadecimal Dump
This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is
coming to the printer. This can be useful in finding software
problems. When you turn on the hex dump function, the printer

The printer prints “Hexadecimal Dump” and then all the
codes it receives in a two-column format. The first column
contains the hexadecimal codes and the second column
gives the ASCII characters that correspond to the codes.
