Graphics Control Functions

The set of control codes that are interpreted while in graphics mode are shown in the following charts. Bytes less than 32 decimal that are not interpreted as control codes are ignored. The printer processes valid escape sequences within a graphics data sequence. This is potentially useful, for instance, in the cases of the absolute and relative position commands. A valid escape sequence that is not applicable to graphics mode, such as bold printing mode, will be implemented for text on exiting graphics. If the printer receives a nonvalid escape sequence while in graphics mode, then it drops out of graphics mode.

	Dec 132	Hex 84
RI	REVERSE INDEX
