8.3. Defining a Temporary Escape Character

No escape character is defined when you receive the printer. If you wish to change the settings of the printer from the host system, you will have to define the escape character. See below how to define "%" as the tem porary escape character.

NOTE:

The characters "," ";" and ":" must never be used as escape characters, as they are used as separators in escape sequences and will be ig- nored by the printer.

The same applies to 0-9, A-F, a-f and K,S,T,X,Y,Z, simple quote ('), & and ?. These must not be used.

CAUTION!

Avoid using your national characters as ESC characters.

The following EBCDIC HEX codes have been defined as national language characters and must not be used as ESC characters

4A 4C 4F 5A 5B 5F 6A 79 7B 7C 7F A1 C0 D0 E0
