NOTE: These commands must be sent when the plotter is in print mode. The commands will be ignored and interpreted as raster data if they are sent at any other time.

The V8.5E plotter also obeys standard control characters which must be sent when the plotter is in print mode:

04 end of transmission

0A line feed

0C form feed

NOTE: print mode on the V8.5E means that all bytes that are received by the plotter are interpreted as ASCII characters and printed at 108 characters/line.
