If a command is available in only one mode or if it has a different function in the other mode, the comments indicate either Epson only or IBM only.

Each command has a format section and a comment section. The format section gives the ASCII, decimal, and hexadecimal codes for the command. In some cases there is also a control key code because some commercial software programs can use a control key for a code between 0 and 27 (decimal). In this section, CTRL O, for example, means hold down the control key while you press o.

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