228 IBM Proprinter Control Commands
An All Character Character Set includes printable characters for data byte
values from 0 to 31 and 128 to 159 decimal (00 to 1F hex and 80 to 9F
hex). No control code functions are performed when ESC \ is in effect.
Example
REM PRINT NEXT 130 CHARACTERS FROM ALL CHARACTERS SET
LPRINT CHR$(27);"\";CHR$(130);CHR$(0);
ESC ^ Print One Character From All Character Set
*
ASCII: ESC ^
Control:
CTRL
[^
Decimal: 27 94
Hexadecimal: 1B 5E
Prints the next character from an All Character Character Set, then
returns to the character set in use prior to receipt of the ESC ^ command.
Example
REM PRINT NEXT CHARACTERS FROM ALL CHARACTERS SET
LPRINT CHR$(27);"^";CHR$(206);
RESULTS:PRINTS ö
*
ESC \ enables you to print continuously from an All Characters Character Set. ESC ^ is valid for printing one character
only. Both commands enable printing of characters for data bytes normally recognized as control codes. See Appendix
D for charts of character sets.
