Epson LX-80 Dec, Dec, Hex, BEL, ESC, High, Note:, Symbol, Low High, Function

The printer’s high- order control codes from 128 to 155 mirror their low-order counterparts (O-27). In some cases it is necessary or more convenient to use the high-order codes instead of the low-order ones. For example, if your system will not send a 9 for a horizontal tab, use 137 instead. For ready reference, both sets are listed here:

Low High		High	Symbol	Function
Dec	Dec	Hex
0	128	80	N U L	Terminates horizontal and vertical
				tab setting ESCape sequence
7	135	87	BEL	Sounds beeper

9	137	89	H T	Horizontal tab
10	138	8A	LF	Line feed
11	139	8B	VT	Vertical tab

				sed mode OFF
