Programming 7–27
150B Control Codes150B/L150B printers recognize certain ASCII characters and character
sequences as “control codes.” These codes, when placed within a program
line, cause the printer to react according to the code. There are specific
codes that can:
•make the data in the associated data line print in a particular manner
•do a line feed
•move to the next tab stop
•perform some other activity where no actual printing is involved
The control codes and associated configuration options that define specific
printer operations are contained in the Configuration chapter. See Table 7–9
if you want to use a programming language (such as BASIC) to control
printer output.
