Hexadecimal Dumping
Overview
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 hexadecimal dump function,
the printer prints all commands and data in hexadecimal format along with a guide section to
help you find specific commands.

To use the hexadecimal dump function, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the printer is off.

switch 2-2 to the ON position.
3. Turn on the printer; the printer is in the hexadecimal dump mode.

codes it receives in a two-column format. The first column contains the hexadecimal

position.

isolate the commands causing the print difference by comparing hex dumps from a working
printer the printer with a problem print format. For example, receipts and the corresponding
hex dumps from two printers, the Samsung SRP-270 and the Epson TM-300 are shown below:
