Programming Commands
In order to be ready for a command sequence, the printer must first
receive a special character called an “attention getter” that informs the
printer that it is about to receive a command and the type of command
it will be. Immediate commands, system-level commands, and font-
loading commands each have their own attention getter. The attention
getter character is followed by a command character that tells the
printer what action to take.
