The Reporting Format command allows the host to specify non-standard introducing codes and a
terminating code for all report sequences generated by the TCS.
This command allows the programmer to tailor TCS reports to match the format required by a
particular host computer. The Reporting Format command has no effect on the codes generated
by pressing keys on the optional keyboard (including multi-code sequences, such as those
generated by pressing the function keys).
The default format of a report from the TCS to the host is:
<ESC>[...<F>
The default introducer codes are <ESC> and [. The default final code <F>, is a single ASCII
code that varies with the type of report. (TCS report sequences are summarized in Chapter 3.)
The Reporting Format command allows the host to reassign the two introducer codes to be any
two codes (including control codes). In addition, the Reporting Format command allows the host
to specify an additional terminating code (such as <CR>) to be appended to the normal report
sequence. Once specified, the reporting format is the same for all TCS-to-host reports.
The reporting format is stored in nonvolatile memory. This allows the TCS to send a power-up
interrupt to the host using the reporting format programmed before the power was turned off.
(The TCS sends a power-up interrupt only if the Power-Up Interrupt Mode is set.)

The default reporting format for TCS reports is:
<ESC>[...<F>
23(5$72586$*(
None. (This is a remote command only.)
+26786$*(
<ESC>[<P1>;<P2>;<P3>w
<P1> is the decimal value of the ASCII code that is to be used as the first introducer code.
If <P1> is omitted, the TCS assigns the default decimal value 27 (the <ESC> code) to the first
introducer code.
<P2> is the decimal value of the ASCII code that is to be used as the second introducer code.
If <P2> is omitted, the TCS assigns the default decimal value 91 (the [ code) as the second
introducer code.
<P3> is the decimal value of the ASCII code that is to be appended to the normal final code.
If <P3> is omitted, no terminating code is appended to the normal final code.
