MASK Command
The MASK command is used to mask the high bit (MSB) of serial input data. Some serial host computers set
the most significant bit when using eight-bit serial data lengths. When the MASK ON command is issued,
each serial character received is logically ANDed with &H7F (127 decimal).
MASK OFF is the power-on default. In default operation, all serial input data is automatically masked with
&H7F. The exception to this is any data which follows a semicolon (;), an apostrophe ('), or a quotation
mark ("). After a MASK ON command, all characters are masked.
