7. CONTROL CODE SELECTION
(1) Automatic
Selection
This printer automatically selects [ESC] (1BH). [LF] (0AH). [NUL] (00H) or {(7BH). | (7CH).} (7DH)
as an interface command control code. After the power is turned on, the program checks the data
from the host for [ESC] and { and assumes the data whichever has been sent first to be a control
code.
as an interface command control code. After the power is turned on, the program checks the data
from the host for [ESC] and { and assumes the data whichever has been sent first to be a control
code.
For example, if [ESC] is sent first after the power is turned on, [ESC]. [LF]. [NUL] becomes a
control code, and if { is sent first, { . | . } becomes a control code. Control code selection is made
for every command. If the first command is [ESC] ~ [LF] [NUL], followed by [ESC], the control
code becomes [ESC]. [LF]. [NUL], and if it is followed by { , the control code for the next command
becomes { . | . }. When { . | . } is a control code, the data of 00H to 1FH in { ~ | } is ignored.
However, the data of 00H to 1FH becomes valid while processing the Graphic Command or the Bit
Map Writable Character Command in hexadecimal mode. When { . | . } is the control code, { . | . }
cannot be used in the data of the Data Command or the Message Display Command.
