Epson DFX-5000+ User Manual

The paper supply may be too far from the printer, or not

aligned with the front or rear tractor. Also, some obstacle may

be in the way of the paper or something may be on top of the

paper supply. If you use the rear tractor, make sure that your

printed documents do not interfere with the rear paper supply.

See Chapter 2 for instructions on the proper placement of the

paper supply.

If you are using labels, you must take extra paper handling

precautions. See the section in Chapter 2 on using labels.

The printer has a special feature to make it easy for

experienced users to find the cause of communication

problems between the printer and application programs. In

hex dump mode, all codes received by the printer are printed.

1. To enter hex dump mode, hold down both the LF/FF and

TEAR OFF buttons while you turn on the printer.

2. Next, run a software program (even one you have written in

any programming language) and send a print job to the

printer. Your printer prints all the codes it receives in

hexadecimal format as shown in the sample below:
