Read-back of

Information

The Axis Network Print Server supports bi-directional printing. The 

information from the printer is read back on the parallel port when the 

parameter Read Back Port (PRx_IN) has the default setting of AUTO. 

However, it is required that the printer also supports bi-directional 

printing.

Please refer to your printer documentation for further details regarding 

bi-directional printing support.

Follow the instructions below to disable the bi-directional communication 

for logical printer PR1:

1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select 

2. Select the 

PR1 tab.

3. Set the 

Read Back Port parameter to NONE.

4. Click the 

OK button.

Debugging using the

Hex Dump Mode

When hex dump mode is activated, the print data is printed as 

hexadecimal byte values rather than characters; printer control 

commands are also printed as hex values. This allows you to inspect what 

control and print characters are being sent to the printer, which is a 

useful debugging facility for the more difficult printing problems.

Follow the instructions below to activate the hex dump mode for PR3:

1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select 

2. Select the 

Printer3 tab.

3. Set the 

Hex Dump Mode Enabled radio button to YES.

4. Click the 

OK button.

The page length for hex dump printouts is determined by the lines per page 
value of the PostScript page format parameter.
