This function allows users export Hex-Dump data from the printer, which is a record of received data in a hexadecimal format that can be saved on user PC for analysis or sharing.

This feature is available only for PW208NX/PW208mNX and PW4NX printers.

On the printer page, click [Settings] > [Tools] > [HEX-Dump] of the selected printer. And then click the [Hex Dump Mode] toggle switch to enable it.
