The test cycles endlessly, so you must turn the power off [...]

I L i : ., Since the self-test occupies the full width of the carriage, it is recommended that the printer is loaded with the widest paper possible to avoid damage to the print head and/or platen. In addition, the total number of lines printed is considerable, more than can be accommodated on a single sheet, so fanfold paper is recommended for this[...]

3 . - Hexadecimal dump This feature is useful for programmers who am debugging printing programs and want to see the actual codes the printer is receiving. (Some computers change the codes the programmer intended.) In this mode, all data received will be printed in a hexadecimal dump format, rather than the control codes being acted on as command c[...]

Most BASICS, however, are not quite that straightforward. For example, the IBM-PC will give you a printout similar to Figure 5-6. Ffguts 5-6. Sample lwxadedmal dump with IBM-PC.

This value will remain unless you power off the printer. If you want to retain this value even after you turn off the power, store it using the Macro Definition function, which is described later. Note that you can only change this value immediately after loading paper. If you feed paper, you cannot change the auto loading value. Clearing the buffe[...]
