ESC \
Prints characters from all characters table. (IBM)
ASCII Code
ESC \ n1 n2
Hexadecimal Value X'1B' X'5C' n1 n2
Decimal Value 27 92 n1 n2
Range 0 = n1 = 255
0 = n2 = 255
This command prints the next n1 + n2 x 256 characters from the table of all printable characters.
The total number of characters that will be printed from the table of all printable characters is equal to n1 +
(n2 x 256). For example, to print 300 characters from the table of all printable characters: n1 = 44, n2 =1.
The control codes are not recognized as long as this sequence is active. The space character is printed as
an unassigned character.
