Producing Hexdumps

A hexdump is a printout where the input data stream is printed as hexadecimal
byte values rather than being interpreted as characters and control codes. The
Intermate LX T-04 features two different types of hexdump modes



System hexdump

This mode traps the input SCS data before the character and
control code conversion. The data is printed as EBCDIC
hexadecimal values.



ASCII hexdump

The input data is converted to ASCII hexadecimal values before
printing. This mode is useful if you want to see what printer
control command a certain IBM control code corresponds to.

The procedure for producing a hexdumpis as follows:

1.

Switch the printer and Intermate LX T-04 off and on.

2.

Set the address switch to '9', and wait for approx. 3 seconds until the
SYSTEM indicator starts to flash. You are now in the Test Mode.
