Figure 2-3. Commodore mode character sets
(USA/UK/Netherlands)
The programs in this manual all include the secondary address of 7
in the OPEN statements so the program listings appear in upper/
lower case when they're printed out. Without this character set in
use, the
programs would appear in uppercase letters and graphic
symbols. The same codes would still be sent to the printer and the
printer would act exactly the same, but the reader of this manual
probably wouldn't fare as well as the printer in following the
programs.
CONTROL CODE AND ESCAPE
SEQUENCES
Now that we've reviewed some BASIC commands to communi-
cate with the MPS 1200, let's consider how you actually tell it what
you want it to do: control codes and escape sequences. As we said
earlier, the
MPS 1200 has two modes, Commodore and Epson
modes, where it behaves differently when you give it certain
instructions (although most commands get the same result in either
mode). These instructions
to the printer come in the form of
control codes or escape sequences.
