Control Code Command Changes

Example 1: In this example, the words Shopping List: are part of the Graphics Pass with the data milk, eggs, and butter, transmitted afterward. Since butter contains the most letters (six characters), the data field will be 6 bytes. The command:

^B^-^M0202000Shopping List: ^[006^-^*^*^]

milk^- buttereggs^-^-^G

will print:

The word butter, having six characters, completely fills up its data field and doesn’t require a ^- to fill out the data field. If a ^- had been used after butter, then a blank field would have been created, as it was at the beginning of the data sequence by the second ^-.
