This chapter lists and describes all the commands available on the printer.
The first part of this chapter lists all commands in numerical order and gives the number of the page where each is fully described. If you know which command you are looking for, consult the numerical list.
Note: The Quick Reference card at the end of the book also contains a list of the commands divided by topic, with page number references that direct you to full explanations of the commands.
The second part of this chapter lists and describes each command separately; the commands are divided into the following subjects:
Printer operation | Print size and character width |
MSB control | Print enhancement |
Data control | Word processing |
Vertical motion | Character sets |
Horizontal motion | |
Overall printing style | Graphics |
Each command description has a format section and a comment section. The format section gives the ASCII, decimal, and hexadecimal values for the command. These three formats are equivalent, and it should be easy to pick the one most suited to your purpose. The comment section describes the effect of the command and gives any additional information necessary for using it.
Note: Some application programs use control key sequences. See the Control Key chart later in this chapter.
