Description
The [ESC] y <n> command enables and disables command set features.
It is possible that the IPCL commands will interfere with print data. If this occurs, the
IPCL can be disabled with an [ESC] y <4> command.
Note 1:
Once IPCL commands are disabled, the Enable IPLC command
will not be a valid IPCL code.
Note 2:
[ESC] y <0>, <1>, <2>, <3>, <34> and <35> allow the printer to
switch between emulation modes. When the switch takes place, the
current print buffer is printed, and the printer reinitializes. These
commands do not permanently change the configuration. A power on
reset restores the mode that was configured in menu mode. A reset by
command or from the INIT pin does not restore the mode.
Note 3:
[ESC] y <6> and <7> enable and disable the inquire process.
These commands are not processed as they are received, but are
buffered then processed. The buffering process allows inquire commands
sent after a disable to be answered. In addition, inquires sent after an
enable may not be answered. (See additional notes 3 and 4 on the next
page).
Note 5:
In EPOS mode, the [ESC] y command is active.

Description
The [ESC] ~ <n> commands are extended diagnostics commands. They
must all be preceded with an enabling command. These commands (in general) are not
intended to be used by the end user.
