Hexadecimal (hex) is base 16 and uses the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F. This numbering system is frequently used by programmers. Any decimal number between 0 and 255 can be expressed by a two-digit hex number. Binary is base 2 and uses only the digits 0 and 1. All information in computer systems is handled in binary form to represent electrical signals that are on or off. A binary digit is often called a bit; any decimal number between 0 and 255 can be expressed by an eight-bit binary number. on line When the printer is on line, it can communicate with the computer connected to it.
