5. Hex Dump Mode
The information provided here is for those of our custom-
ers who are technically inclined.
The Hex Dump Mode option causes the printer to print all
com mands and data it receives from the computer in a
hexa dec i mal format. Use this feature to check the integ-
rity of your data. When you enable this option, instead of
ad dress es print ing, a Hex dump of the data stream prints
on the material. To use this option, the printer must be at-
tached to a computer.
This chart can be easily understood by memorizing five
Hex codes: Capital A is 41 Hex, numbers are 30’s (0 is 30
Hex, 1 is 31 Hex etc.), Carriage Return (CR) is 0D, Line
Feed (LF) is 0A and Form Feed is 0C.
When Hex Mode is disabled, a typical address will be
printed on a single envelope. When Hex Mode is enabled,
the same address will be printed on several envelopes (3
to 5) because Hex codes are two digits each separated by
brackets. Since a capital letter A is a Hex [41], there are 4
elements printed for each character of the address.
When re view ing addresses printed in Hex mode, start
from the end of the address and count back ward toward
the beginning of the address. Count the number of CRs
[0D] and LFs [0A]. Verify that the printer’s address setup
has the same number of CRs and LFs as the address
printed. If there is a variation in the number of CRs or LFs
between addresses, then the address MUST be termi-
nated with a (form feed) FF [0C] (within the data sent to
the printer).
When you’re finished using this option, use the Menu
button to back out of the menu until the printer dis plays its
normal operating screen. Then press the On Line button
and send ad dress es to the printer.
