When using <LF> with the command, control codes are not sent by the host PC, so the control codes are sent as data,
as shown below.
• When sending the following data, it represents a 2 character set.
% (25H) represents %0 (25H 30H).
Control codes (00H to 1FH) represent 40H to 5FH applied behind %.
Control code (7FH) represents %5 (25H 35H).
Function codes represent 1 to 4 (31H to 34H) applied behind %.
Start codes represent 6 to 8 (36H to 38H) applied behind %.
• Stop code (SC)/Check character (CK) are automatically applied.
• When start code is omitted:
Uses START C when more than 4 digits continue after header.
Uses START A when initial data other than numbers are the control code.
Uses START B for other cases.
