This is followed by the Data Structure in ASCII, hexadecimal and decimal syntax with the necessary parameters, e.g.:

ASCII

ESC "C"

<n>

Setting the form length in lines

hex.

1B

43

<n>

 

dec.

27

67

<n>

 

For the parameter (here n) it is necessary to differentiate between two types of syntax.

if the parameter is in pointed parentheses, the decimal value is transferred

if the parameter is not in pointed parentheses, the ASCII value is transferred

Example:

 

Parameter syntax:

<n>, with n=0

to be transmitted:

ASCII "NUL" (hex.00, dec.0)

Parameter syntax:

n, with n=0

to be transmitted:

ASCII "0" (hex.30, dec.48)
