Datascope Mode
Datascope Mode allows the user to test the printer’s communications. When in Datascope
Mode the printer receives all communications, but instead of executing the commands it
prints them out on receipt paper as hexadecimal numbers in the order received. For
example, the ASCII character “A” is printed as the hexadecimal number 41 an so on.
To run the Datascope Mode:
1. After you have enabled the Datascope Mode through the Configuration Menu, exit the
Configuration Menu.

All commands and data sent from the host computer will be printed as hexadecimal
numbers as shown in the illustration.
