3.6.3- Hexadecimal dump mode
Fig. 3.6-
HEXADECIMAL DUMP mode example.
NOTES:
(1) For any received characters that are under 20h, the ASCII ‘.’ will be printed.
(2) During the hexadecimal dump mode, the
DEL EOT
command does not work.
(3) It must be taken into account that if the number of bytes is not bigger than the minimum
amount required to print one line (9 bytes), the TK14 will not print. It is recommended to
complete the hexadecimal dump by sending at least 9 bytes (for example 00h).
(4) It is also possible to enter the hexadecimal mode through the
GS ( A
command.
In this mode, all the data received from the host
system is printed, without processing any command,
in hexadecimal and its corresponding ASCII.
This mode can be very helpful for the application
developer during the setup test time, as it allows to
detect and eliminate possible errors (as out of range
parameters, non valid command sequences, errors in
the communication channel, etc.), comparing what it
has theoretically been sent to the printer to what it is
really being received.
To enter hexadecimal mode, proceed with the
following steps:
a) Keeping the paper advance button (FEED) and
program button (PROG) pressed, switch the
power on.
b) The TK14 will print the text ‘~~~~HEXADECIMAL
MODE~~~~’, and it will remain waiting for
receiving data. As soon as the received bytes
received complete one line (9 bytes), they will be
printed automatically.
Turn off the printer to quit the hexadecimal mode.
