DEL

(hex.7F)

Clear previous characters in the print buffer.

 

(dec.127)

 

ESC

(hex.1B)

Start character for a subsequent program sequence.

 

(dec.27)

 

FF

(hex.0C)

When the printer receives this code, it prints the data in the print buffer, then advances

 

(dec.12)

the paper from the current print position to the top-of-form position on the next page.

 

 

The next line is beginning at the left margin.

HT

(hex.09)

This code causes the following characters to be printed starting from the first horizontal

 

(dec.9)

tab stop after the current print position. When the printer is switched on, tab stops are

 

 

set at every eighth print position.

 

 

The amount by which the print position is shifted by tabulation depends on the selected

 

 

character spacing. When horizontal tabulation is carried out e.g. at a position being ten

 

 

spaces to the right of the current print position, code HT will shift printing in normal mode

 

 

one inch to the right. Except for enlarged mode, the print position at which the character

 

 

spacing is changed is defined as the first column provided that character spacing is

 

 

changed within a line.

 

 

If there are no tab stops following the current print position, code HT is ignored. If the

 

 

next tab stop exceeds the right margin, the printer carries out a carriage return and line

 

 

feed on receipt of this code.

LF

(hex.0A)

When the printer receives this code, it prints all the data in the print buffer and then

 

(dec.10)

advances the paper by one line.

 

 

The amount by which the paper is advanced depends on the current line spacing.

NUL

(hex.00)

Null

 

(dec.0)

 

SI

(hex.0F)

Selection of condensed print mode.

 

(dec.15)

 

SO

(hex.0E)

Code for double width print within one line (enlarged printing).

 

(dec.14)
