Emulations
When a printer understands the control set written for another printer 
type, it is said to emulate the other printer. Your printer emulates, i.e. 
“understands” the Olivetti PR2 in its standard version.
Escape sequences
Escape sequences or control codes tell the printer that the following 
transmitted code is a printer command and not a printable character. 
They allow the selection of printer functions or the changing of printer 
parameters from the computer. By transmitting an escape sequence, 
you are able to change the previously set configuration of the printer 
(e.g. character set).
This chapter contains an introduction into the sequences and control 
codes which are used by your printer.
The settings made by escape sequences have priority over the 
settings made in menu mode; therefore they override these.
