?Previously Selected Emulation
@Default Emulation
Overrides the “Emulation” value in the interface setup menu.
A numeric value for n may be specified in two different ways, with equivalent results: a single byte with a value of 00 to 07 hex, or a single printable ASCII character “0” to “7” (30 to 37 hex).
If more than one emulation has been selected, ESC ESC ? will return to the previously selected emulation. This is particularly useful when the previous emulation is unknown. Please beware that the memory (stack) is only one level deep.
ESC ESC @ will return to the default emulation, as specified by the “Emulation” value in the interface setup menu.
This chapter describes ANSI X3.64 emulation. If a different interface is selected, the control codes and escape sequences described in this chapter will no longer be applicable.
Example: The following escape sequences will select Printek emulation, load form one, and then return to the previous emulation.
Escape Sequence: | ESC | ESC | 7 | ESC | L | 1 | ESC | ESC | ? |
Hexadecimal: | 1B | 1B | 07 | 1B | 4C | 01 | 1B | 1B | 3F |
