Hexadecimal Dump Mode

When the printer is placed in the Hexadecimal Dump Mode, all
data received, including text and printer commands, is printed
in both hexadecimal and ASCII format.

For example, the following line of BASIC code

LPRINT CHR$ (27);”0”;CHR$ (30);”This is an

example of a hexadecimal dump.”

would print like this:

Note: In the ASCII format, all non-printable characters will be

represented by a period.
