Functions

Some translate tables perform functions in addition to performing character translation. Each input hexadecimal character that performs a function is first translated into 05h. The function that is performed by the 05h character is determined by the location of the 05h in the table and is indicated by the code beneath each 05h entry in the table. Each function is listed below, including a description for each function that does not perform in a standard manner.

•EM (End of Message)

•FF (SCS or DSC Form Feed): Dependent upon the setting of Option #2 — Lines Per Page. If set to 0 (infinite page length), the ULTRA will send a form feed whenever a form feed is received. If set to a non-zero value, the ULTRA will output CR/LF until the lines per page value is reached.

•NL (New Line)

•CR (Carriage Return)

•VCS (SCS Vertical Channel Select)

•HT (SCS Horizontal Tab): Converted into the appropriate number of spaces to reach the next horizontal tab position.

•LF (Line Feed)

•TRN (Transparency)

•BS (Backspace)

•ESC (SCS Escape): When the SCS control sequence prefix 2Bh is received, it indicates the beginning of an SCS format command stream such as SHF, SVF, SLD, etc.

•VT (SCS Vertical Tab): Converted into the appropriate number of line feeds to reach the next vertical tab position.

•GE (Graphic Escape)

•IRS (SCS Interchange Record Separator)

•NULL (SCS or DSC Null): Output to the printer as a space.

•SP (Space)

•SA (SCS Set Attribute)

•¢ (Trigger 1 character): Processing of the Trigger 1 character depends upon the setting of Option #30 — Pseudo Transparency Mode Selection.
