    Hi Sougata,

    The printer has an Hex Dump mode. This mode will show you
    exactly what codes the printer is receiving.
    (The printer will print each byte in HEX on paper).

    See the printer manual how to enable the HEX dump.

    * * *

    To see if the selected emulation is a problem, boot
    the PC with DOS 6.22 and type:

    Copy myfile.txt > PRN

    (Put first 2 or 3 lines of text in the file myfile.txt).
    If you see the text of myfile.txt printed on paper you are fine.

    (The printer must be connected to LPT1 in order to use PRN).

    I was unable to downlaod a manual from the web site.

    Note that you can install an optional serial port in this printer.


    Best regards,
