Specifying XX YY at values greater than those indicated will cause the V8.5E to terminate scans incorrectly.

3.) 1B 4X and control characters

Other commands that can be sent to the V8.5E Centronics adapter:

1B 41	remote clear
1B 42	remote line terminate
1B 43	remote end of transmission
1B 44	remote form feed
1B 45	remote reset
1B 50 ZZ	sends blank scans to plotter from ZZ = 01
	hex to FF hex

NOTE: These commands must be sent when the plotter is in print mode. The commands will be ignored and inter- preted as raster data if they are sent at any other time.

C

The V8.5E plotter also obeys standard control characters which must be sent when the plotter is in print mode:

04 end of transmission

0A line feed

0C form feed

NOTE: print mode on the V8.5E means that all bytes that are received by the plotter are interpreted as ASCII characters and printed at 108 characters/line.
