Basic Command
Syntax
Each command begins with a Command Initiator
(the “Escape” character). For some models, direct
-
ing characters follow the Escape character.
The Command Initiator serves to mark the charac
-
ter(s) immediately following as command
characters. Command characters vary between one
and seven characters (or up to seven bytes of hexa
-
decimal data).
Some commands then have one or more additional
parameters to supply the printer with information
necessary to complete the command. A “Space”
character delineates individual command control
parameters. The following Text command shows a
typical example.
Each command line requires a Carriage Return (↵)
character (13 dec. or 0D hex.). A single Line Feed
(LF) character (Dec. 10 or 0A Hex.) is ignored by
the printer when it immediately follows the com-
mand terminating Carriage Return. Most PC based
systems send a CR/LF when the Enter key is
pressed.
