NOTE

The physical spaces in the escape sequences shown in this publication are only for clarification purposes and are not used in the actual string. If a space is actually needed in the sequence, it will be shown as an <SP> in the mnemonic form of the sequence. In the decimal form, it will appear as a 32, and in the hexadecimal form, as 20.

Examples are shown below of escape sequences as written in the text: with parameters filled in and written in the BASIC programming language assuming the use of the LPRINT instruction. The parameter values are actualized in these examples, but will be shown as parameters thereafter. Note that parameters are surrounded by angle brackets (<>).

CSI AND OSC

A control sequence introducer <CSI> signals the beginning of an ANSI sequence using the <ESC> code and the left bracket ([). <CSI> (9B hex) can be used instead of <ESC> [ (1B 5B hex) when the printer is receiving and processing 8-bit data. <ESC> [ will be used predominately in this manual for the examples.

An operating system command (OSC) signals the start of a download sequence using the <ESC> code and the right bracket (]). <OSC> (9D hex) can be use instead of <ESC> ] (1B 5D hex) when the printer is receiving and processing 8 bit data. <ESC> ] will be used predominately in this manual for the examples.
