Note

Note

When the printer is in display functions mode, all control codes and escape sequences are printed and not executed, with the following exceptions:

zCR is printed and executed as CR-LF.

zECZ is printed and executed.

Display functions mode instructs the printer to display rather than execute the data it receives. The data is printed using the current text area and selected font.

To print characters 0, 7-15, and 27 in fonts which have printable characters in these positions (such as PC-8), the printer must be in Display Function Mode, or be given a Transparent Print command.

Most symbol sets do not have printable characters defined in the control code decimal range 0 to 31 and 128 to 159. If a printable character is not defined, a Space control code is printed while in display functions mode. The PC symbol sets do have printable characters defined in this range.
