	NOTE: "ANSI_cd" includes seven separate parameters.
		The first five parameters are required. The other
		parameters are optional.
E3. "string 1"	Terminator for status requests and ENQ requests. Up to
	any 3 characters in the 0 to 255 decimal range. The
	default is "013". Sending "" disables this sequence.

The defaults listed above are the defaults for all printers. After you change these parameters, all packets, including any future configuration packets, must use the new control characters. Monarch recommends using the tilde and ASCII character code sequence when sending this packet multiple times. Also, set the packet delimiters to characters within the 21 hex to 7E hex range.

You must send the control characters packet to enable the immediate commands. An immediate command executes immediately, even if it is embedded within quotation marks, and all data following the command in the string is ignored.

Example {I,E,"~123~063~034~124~125~126~094" p }

Changes the parameter separator character from , to ?. The other control characters remain unchanged. It also enables the immediate commands by defining the ^ symbol as the command identifier.
