P-Series Emulation

P-Series SFCC

This parameter allows you to select which ASCII codes will function as the Special Function Control Code (SFCC) command delimiter. P-Series codes can use hex 00 through hex 7F. Options include the following:

ESC (hex 1B)

SOH (hex 01)

ETX (hex 03)

CIRCUMFLEX (hex 5E)—also called caret (^)

TILDE (hex 7E)—(~)

NOTE: SOH, ETX, and ESC are non-printables. The characters (^)

and (~) are printable; however, do not use them as printables in the host data stream if either is chosen as a delimiter because print errors will occur.
