Selecting Protocol Control Codes
Protocol control codes are the special control characters that pre-
pare the printer to receive instructions. For example, the <ESC>
character tells the printer that a command code will follow and the
<ENQ> character asks for the printer status.
There are two pre-defined sets of Protocol Control codes to choose
from. Each set is made up of six special characters. The Standard
Protocol Control codes are non-printable characters, and the Non-
Standard Protocol Control codes are printable characters. The
Non-Standard set may be useful on host computers using protocol
converters or in an application where non-printable ASCII charac-
ters cannot be sent from the host. This manual uses the Standard
Protocol Control codes for all of the examples. Alternately, the user
may define and download a set of custom Protocol Control Codes.
