How are escape
sequences used?
Escape sequences are transmitted to the printer by your computer soft-
ware. Many software applications allow insertion of escape sequences
and control codes within the generated text. Before you start working
with escape sequences and control codes, we recommend that you
study the computer software manual.
To enter control codes the Ctrl key and an ASCII character must be
pressed simultaneously. For instance, by pressing Ctrl and J a line feed
is accomplished (it is required to output the character string on the
printer). More information concerning this topic is contained in your com-
puter software manual and the corresponding Programmer’s
Application Manuals (see chapter
Options and accessories
).
The selected emulation must correspond to the printer driver of
your application program.
Settings caused by ESC sequences remain valid, until they are swit-
ched off by another control code. All settings are reset to the origi-
nal menu, when the printer is switched off.
