Chapter 1 — Introducing ESim
ESim for the PC4 and PF8 Printers Programmer’s Reference Manual 3
About ESim Commands
The command syntax is based on upper and lower case characters,
numeric characters, commas (as separators), quotation marks and
line feeds (LF; ASCII 10 decimal). The LF in this manual is shown as 8
at the end of most command descriptions. Line Feeds (LF) are
required to be sent at the end of most command lines. Some
commands require both a carriage return and a line feed (<CR/LF>).
Most computer-based systems send CR/LF when you press Enter. The
CR (carriage return) sent in a CR/LF sequence is ignored. Sending a
CR alone has no effect.
Commands List
The tables below lists all commands available for the ESim protocol
for the PC4 and PF8 printers.
Note: All programming examples in this manuals start with a Line
Feed (LF), depicted as . It is recommended to start any sequence of
command lines with a Line Feed.
ESim commands and parameters must be used only as described
in this manual. Use of unknown commands and parameters may
cause permanent printer malfunction.
