Epson DFX-5000+ User Manual

3. To turn off hex dump mode, press the PAUSE button and

then turn off the printer.

Look at the hex dump printout shown in Step 2. By comparing

the characters printed in the right column with the printout of

the hexadecimal codes, you can check the codes being sent to

the printer. If characters are printable, they appear in the right

column as ASCII characters. Nonprintable codes, such as

control codes, are represented by dots.

As an example of how to interpret a hex dump printout, look at

the first five hex codes on the first line of the printout sample

(1B 40 1B 55 31). Each hex 1B represents the ESC code, 40

represents @, 55 represents U, and 31 represents the numeral 1.

Check the first line of the right column and you will find a dot,

an @ sign, another dot, a U, and a 1. If you look in Appendix B,

you will see that these are the commands to initialize the

printer and turn on unidirectional mode.

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it

thoroughly several times a year.

If you have installed the optional pull tractor, remove it before

cleaning the printer.

1. Turn off the printer and close all of its covers.

2. Using a soft brush, carefully remove all dust and dirt.
