Description

SOH (01 Hex) and ETX (03 Hex) and ESC (01, 03 and 1B Hex) characters can all be used to initiate an EPSON like command sequence.

.1	47.1	SOH (01 Hex) and ESC (01, and 1B Hex) can be used to initiate an
		EPSON like command sequence.

.2	47.2	ESC used to initiate an EPSON like command sequence. Both SOH
		and ETX characters are ignored.

.3	47.3	ETX and ESC (01, and 1B Hex) can be used to initiate an EPSON
		like command sequence.

NOTE: 47.4 through 47.9 are the same as 47.2. The EPSON like command sequence can not be initiated if 47.2, or 47.4–.9 is used in conjunction with the Configuration Option 46.2 (the ESC character can be used as an EVFU command).
