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.
SRP-270 Hexadecimal Dump
To use the hexadecimal dump function, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the printer is off.
2. Open the access panel on the bottom of the printer to expose the dip switches. Set
switch 2-2 to the ON position.
3. Turn on the printer; the printer is in the hexadecimal dump mode.
4. Run any software program that sends data to the printer. The printer will print all the
codes it receives in a two-column format. The first column contains the hexadecimal codes and the second column gives the ASCII characters that correspond to the codes.
5. When the printing finishes, turn off the printer and return switch 2-2 to the OFF
position.
6. Turn on the printer. Hexadecimal mode is OFF.

Epson TM-300/U200 Hexadecimal Dump
It may be useful to compare hexadecimal dumps with a known printer, such as the Epson TM­300 or U200. To print a hexadecimal dump on the TM-300/U200:
1. Make sure the printer is off and set dip switch 1-2 to ON.
2. Hold down the PAPER FEED button while you turn on the printer, and then release the PAPER FEED button quickly.
Note: Releasing and pressing the PAPER FEED button should be performed before the printer finishes initializing, otherwise the printer begins the self test.
3. When the printer enters the hex dump mode, it prints “Hexadecimal Dump”.
4. Run any program the sends data to the printer – the hexadecimal dump will print.
5. When the printing finishes, turn off the printer or reset it to turn off the hex dump mode.
6. If you changed the dip switch 1-2, return it to the OFF position.

Troubleshooting

If you are connecting an SRP-270 to a specific software application for the first time, you may encounter printing differences from a printer model you are currently supporting. You can 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:
