The ESC > command sets the most significant bit (MSB) of an 8-bit data input to 1.
The ESC = command sets the MSB to 0. ESC # cancels MSB control established by
either ESC > or ESC = and all data is interpreted exactly as sent from the computer.
After the printer has received one of the commands to begin print suppress mode, it
ignores all data until it receives the DC1 command. The SEL light will blink when the
printer is in print suppress mode.
