Printing a Hex Dump

A hex code printout (or hex dump) is a translation of all host interface
data to its hexadecimal equivalent, listing all ASCII character data
received from the host computer with their corresponding two-digit
hexadecimal codes. Hex dumps are used to troubleshoot printer data
reception problems.

Printable characters print as the assigned symbol; nonprintable
characters are indicated by a period (.).
