HEX Dump Mode allows you to print the contents of the receive buffer in a hexadecimal format. This feature 
allows the data stream to be examined for errors and troubleshooting. 
After selecting the HEX Dump Mode in Operation Setting Mode, restart the printer (refer to Section 3.5 
Operation Setting Mode). The printer then awaits data feeds and when data arrives, it prints out the HEX 
data continuously.
To exit the HEX Dump Mode, restart the printer by turning off the printer and then on again. 

The following are the possible causes of errors in program/font download.
