Vertical-scroll display control mode (12) <DC2>
12
Purpose:
Sets vertical-scroll display control mode (DC2) and permits data to be written to either line. When the display position is at the last position of the top line, the cursor moves to the first position of the bottom line. When either valid character data or a Horizontal Tab command is sent to the last position of the bottom line, the data on the bottom line is transferred to the top line and the cursor is moved to the lower left position. Note that a Carriage Return command does not cause the data on the bottom line to be transferred to the top line. This mode is the default setting for power on and reset. The display remains in DC2 mode until a DC1 mode command is issued.
Cursor on (13) <DC3>

Turns on the cursor. The command is the power-on default setting.
