Set And Reset Codes

Set and reset are other ways of saying turn on and turn off; select and deselect; or enable and disable.

Some printer features are set and reset with an escape sequence and the numbers 1 or 0. In those cases, you can represent 1 and 0 as hexadecimal codes 01 and 00, or as the ASCII codes for the numerals 1 and 0 (hexadecimal 31 and 30).

Configuring The KSSM Emulation With Control Codes

The remainder of this chapter describes the KS printer control language codes that may be sent from a host computer attached to the printer in order to invoke and configure numerous KS emulation functions.

Format For Control Code Descriptions

The following information is listed for each code (where applicable and possible) in this chapter:

ASCII Mnemonic. The ASCII name for the control code.

Hex Code. The hexadecimal equivalent of the code. (For octal equivalents, refer to Appendix A.)

Dec Code. The decimal equivalent of the code.

Purpose. The function(s) of the control code.

Comment. A description of exceptions or limitations to normal use.

Example. A sample is provided for some control codes to illustrate how the code is used.
