1. CONTROL According to the American Standard Code of Information CODES Interchange ASCII there are 32 control codes in addition to the codes for the printable characters Control codes are sent as data but the receiving device interprets them as abbreviated instructions communication status messages etc The printer recognizes these control codes Code Function Abbreviation Hex Decimal NUL 00 0 SOH 01 1 Reserved STX 02 2 Reserved ETX 03 3 EOT 04 4 ENO 05 5 Reserved ACK 06 6 BEL 07 7 Back Space BS 08 8 HT 09 9 Line Feed LF 0A 10 VT OB 11 EE OC 12 Carriage Return CR OD 13 Double Height SO OE 14 Double Width SI OF 15 Reset Seq to 0000 DLE 10 16 nhibit Line Space DC1 11 17 Dot Graphics DC2 12 18 User Character DC3 13 19 Set Time amp Date DC4 14 20 Reserved NAK 15 21 Get time and date SYN 16 22 ETB 17 23 Stop Reverse Field CAN 18 24 Reverse Field EM 19 25 Escape ESC 1B 27 FS 1C 28 24 Column Mode GS 1D 29 32 Column Mode RS 1E 30 40 Column Mode US 1F 31 The printer will ignore all other control codes 24 Back Space Code 8 Line Feed Code 10 Carriage Return Code 13 Double Height Code 14 Double Width Code 15 25 Upon receipt of this code the printer erases from its buffer the previously received character This is useful in correcting typing errors for programs that send data both to a video screen and the hardcopy pr
