Letters in parentheses, such as (n) or (d), are variables, which are explained in the comments sections.

In BASIC you can use either decimal or hexadecimal numbers, and if there is a single letter in the second ASCII code column, you can use that letter in quotation marks instead of the number below it. For example, the format section for the right margin command is as fol- lows:

ASCII code:

ESC

Q

(n)

Decimal :

27

81

( n )

Hexadecimal:

1B

51

(n)

In BASIC you can send the command to set the right margin to 60 in three ways:

Decimal:

LPRINT
CHR$(27) CHR$(81) CHR$(60)

Hex:

LPRINT

CHR$(&H1B) CHR$(&H51) CHR$(&H3C)

Decimal with quotes:

LPRINT CHR$(27) "Q" CHR$(60)

ESCape sequences that require a 0 or 1 with a letter, such as ESC “W1" to turn on double-width, can use either the ASCII code or the numeral in quotation marks for the 0 or 1. For example, in BASIC you can turn on double-width with either of the formats below:

LPRINT CHR$(27) "W1" or LPRINT CHR$(27)"W"CHR$(l)Software Commands in Numerical Order

The following list shows the control codes and ESC sequences that the FX-286 uses along with their decimal values. For further details on their use, consult the index to find out where they are discussed in detail. The number on the right after each name is the page where the command is described.
