Black Box Switch PQ-8P Manual De Usuario

3. Send the command to the

printer (press the Print Screen
Button or print the
document/file that contains the
Host/PC download command).

4. To stop the Buffer Hex Dump,

type “&%Z42,2” on the screen,
then send it to the printer (press
the Print Screen Button or print
the document/file that contains
the Host/PC download
command).

Start the EBCDIC Hex Dump from

the PQ-8’s front panel as follows:

1. With configuration switches

SW1:1 through SW1:3 set to a
valid Twinax Address (0-6), set
configuration switch SW1:8 (far
right on the first switch bank) to
“|”.  The PQ-8 is now in buffer
print mode.

2. Return configuration switch

SW1:8 to the “o” position after
printing is completed.

The PQ-8 can be set up to print the
buffer in hexadecimal ASCII code.
This differs from the EBCDIC hex
dump in that the buffer is first
translated into ASCII code before it
is printed. This can be useful to
diagnose problems with the PQ-8 or
the printer. The ASCII Hex Dump
can only be started through the PQ-
8’s configuration switches. To start
the ASCII Hex Dump:

1. Locate configuration switches

SW1:4, SW1:5, SW1:6, and SW1:7
on the first switch bank.

2. Write down their current

position (“o” or “|”).

3. With the PQ-8 powered on, set

configuration switches SW1:4,
SW1:5, SW1:6, and SW1:7 to “|”.
The PQ-8 is now in ASCII Hex
Dump mode.

4. To end ASCII Hex Dump mode,

return the switches to their
original position (see Step 2).
