Commands Arranged by Topic

This section lists all the DFX commands. The numbers in the columns on the right are the page numbers in Chapter 9 where you can find a complete description of the command. If the Epson ESC/P and IBM emulation mode page numbers are the same, the command is the same in both modes and is described only in the Epson ESC/P mode section. Variables are not included in this quick reference. For those codes that contain variables, such as ESC Q n for setting the right margin, see Chapter 9.
