or parameter applies.
Characters used in control functions appear in monospaced type. Table 1 explains some of the conventions
used.
A pair of numbers separated by a slash ( / ) character indicates Column/Row notation. This notation refers
to the location of a character in a standard code table, such as ASCII. (Example: 1/B = 1B is the hex-code for
Escape)
Spaces appear between characters in sequence for clarity; they are not part of the format.
At the end of this chapter you will find a listing of the IBM ProPrinter Emulation commands classified by Hex
Code and a Hex - Decimal conversion table.
