150B Control Codes

150B/L150B printers recognize certain ASCII characters and character

sequences as “control codes.” These codes, when placed within a program

line, cause the printer to react according to the code. There are specific

codes that can:

make the data in the associated data line print in a particular manner

do a line feed

move to the next tab stop

perform some other activity where no actual printing is involved

The control codes and associated configuration options that define specific

printer operations are contained in the Configuration chapter. See Table 7–9

if you want to use a programming language (such as BASIC) to control

printer output.
