If you wish to remove the temporary ESC character so that it may be
used as a printable character, you can define it as a blank as shown
below.

Removing the temporary ESC character .
2.1.3. Defining Permanent Escape Character
The paragraph "Defining a temporary ESC character ", only de-
scribed the temporary use of the ESC character .
If you wish to define and save a permanent ESC character in the
printer, you will have to use Function 48, Select Perma nent Escape
Character, and save the settings in the permanent memory by the
command <ESC> X1 before powering off.
To program Function 48, a temporary escape character has to be
defined first.
You can define the permanent ESC character in two ways:
1. In hex value, e.g. %Y48,09%
2. In apostrophe notation, e.g. %Y48,'<'%
&&??% Define temporary escape
%Y48,’<‘% Define permanent escape
<X1> Store settings
NOTE:
If the character used in Function 48, Select Permanent
Escape Character, is different from the one specified
as temporary ESC character, the latest specified char-
acter will take precedence immediately.
