A data character string is used to express basic commands and a carriage return (ENTER) is used to express the 

end  of  a  command.  The  characteristic  is  that  the  string  of  data  is  flexible.  Frequently  used  commands  are  as 

follows:   

Communications commands 

Note: 

1. (cr)expresses carriage return. Its ASCII value is 0DH. (lf) expresses line feed. Its ASCII value is 0AH.
2. "d" expresses 0-9 number. 0 value is expressed as +0.00.

"d" expresses 0-9 numbers. There is no decimal point in integral part before "E".

3. The status of the machine is expressed by 1-6 letters. See the error code section for the meaning of the

characters. For example, "R" and "IH".

4. Eight  "dddddddd"  expresses  the  electronic  serial  number  of  the  machine.  "t"  expresses  the  type  of

machine.
