# INTERFACE SETTINGS

Settings related to the printer function can be configured.
These settings are used to control and monitor data transmitted to the USB port or network port of the machine.
Hexadecimal Dump Mode
This function is used to print the print data from a computer in hexadecimal format together with the corresponding ASCII text. This mode allows you to check whether or not print data from the PC is being transmitted to the printer correctly.
