The table below describes the unique,
non-printing data characters that are used by
the line mode printer to reprogram these basic
printer control functions.
Command

<CAN> Cancel 24 18
Changing Control
Function Characters
Use this command string to change the basic
command code functions.
Syntax:
<STX>p
1
<EOT>p
2
<ETX>
Parameters p
1
= Character to be substituted for: Escape
(ESC), line feed (LF), carriage return
(CR) or a form feed (FF).
p
2
= One to two character string to be substi-
tuted. Each individual control character
can be substituted with a one or two
ASCII characters.
Example:
<STX>LF<EOT>?-<ETX>:The printer will treat a ?-
as a line feed (LF) .
If control function code substitution is such
that a higher priority code is a subset of
a lower priority code, the lower priority
code will not be executed. For instance,
if the carriage return is replaced with ?
and the line feed is replaced with ?- and
the user sends the line feed sequence to
the printer the ? will be interpreted as a
carriage return and the – will be printed
as data.
