CONTROL CODES

Introduction

Generally, control codes are not printed and cause the printer to perform a control function. Within PPL III, there is an exception when Control Representation Mode (CRM) is set.

C0 Control Characters

 

C0 control characters are in the range of 00H to 1FH. With the

 

exception of Escape (ESC), Cancel (CAN), and Substitute (SUB), C0

 

control characters do not affect escape sequences, control sequences,

 

or control strings.

 

Only the control characters listed below are implemented. All others

 

are ignored.

BEL

Bell (07H): BEL causes the printer to sound a bell or buzzer.

BS

Backspace (08H): BS moves the active horizontal position back one

 

Horizontal Advance Increment (HAI). See the section later in this

 

chapter on the Page Coordinate System. BS is active within the page

 

boundaries, i.e., there is no effect if the current Active Position is

 

outside of the left or right margin settings.

CAN

Cancel (18H): CAN is ignored unless received in an escape sequence,

 

control sequence, or control string. In these instances, CAN causes

 

the sequence or string being processed to abort.

CR

Carriage Return (0DH): CR sets the active horizontal position to the

 

Line Home Position, even when the active horizontal position is to the

 

left of the Line Home Position. If Carriage Return/New Line Mode

 

(DECCRNLM) is set, the printer also moves down one Vertical

 

Advance Increment (VAI). If PLD or subscript counts are non-

 

negative, then a CR executed beyond the bottom margin causes a

 

form feed.

 

See the section later in this chapter on the Page Coordinate System.

ESC

Escape (1BH): ESC introduces an escape sequence. An ESC control

 

character received in an escape sequence, control sequence, or

 

control string aborts that sequence and begins a new escape

 

sequence.

FF

Form Feed (0CH): FF indicates the end of the current page and the

 

beginning of a new page. Subsequent output will appear on the new

 

page. FF sets the active vertical position to the Page Home Line. FF

 

does not modify the active horizontal position. See the section on the

 

Page Coordinate System for further information on the interaction

 

with coordinate system bounds.
