SECTION 12. PROGRAM CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS
12-8
*** 98 SEND CHARACTER ***
Instruction 98 is used to send a character to the
printer. The single parameter sets the baud
rate and gives the decimal equivalent of the 7
bit character (sent as 8 bits, no parity). For
example, to send the ASCII character control R
at 9600 baud, 2018 would be entered for
Parameter 1. This instruction can be used to
send a control character to activate some
device. The specified character is sent at the
time Instruction 98 is executed; this will cause it
to precede any output arrays generated in the
same table, since the output data is sent to the
printer at the completion of the table.
