➤ What are escape

Generally, an escape sequence consists of an ESCape control character

 

sequences?

(ESC = decimal 27 or hexadecimal 1B) followed by one or more charac-

 

 

ters, which represent commands to the printer. Please note that this

 

 

escape character has nothing to do with the ESC key on your computer

 

 

keyboard.

 

 

For example, the control character ESC followed by the character “4”

 

 

tells your printer to print the subsequent text in italics.

 

MTPL sequences

Apart from the standard Escape sequences and control codes your

 

 

 

 

printer is equipped with MTPL sequences. These sequences provide a

 

 

large number of additional ways to control your printer. Many functions

 

 

can only be carried out using the MTPL sequences as you will see when

 

 

you look at the list of available command codes.

 

What are control codes?

Control codes are similar to escape sequences because they instruct the

 

 

 

 

printer to do a specific function. However, unlike escape sequences, con-

 

 

trol codes do not begin with the ESC control code. Instead, they consist

 

 

of special single-character non-printing commands (e.g. LF, FF, DC2).
