Following are the conventions used in the syntax descriptions of each
command.
Symbol
Description
-
Separates items in the command sequence.
< >
Indicates a variable with a single-byte value.
' '
Indicates the value is a literal. Enter the value as it appears or
use the ASCII hex values for the same characters.
( )
Indicates a variable of any length.
# #
Indicates a variable of an exact length.
ESC
Indicates the beginning of a command sequence. Enter
1B
hex
for this item.
CR-LF
Indicates the end of a response from the printer. In the
response, it is represented as
0D 0A
hex.
These conventions make it easier for you to read the commands' syntax
descriptions. They are not part of the data streams. For example,
ESC-'F'-'1'
may be the syntax description, but the application writes
1BF1
(1B
46 31 hex) to the printer.
The printer ignores commands
with syntax errors.
