DSC DATA STREAMS

General Information

The DSC (Data Stream Compatibility) character set is found in non-SNA

environments. It has a limited number of control characters, which are

explained below.

Carriage Return (CR) — 05h

This command moves the presentation position to the left margin. See

Option #21 in Configuration for setting a left margin value other than 1.

End of Message (EM) — 01h

The End of Message command terminates printing, and it also may send a

new line to the printer, depending upon the settings of Options 26 and 27,

and upon whether or not the current print position is column 1. Here is a

table listing all of the possible results:

The Form Feed command moves the presentation position to the top and

left margins of the next page.

the left and top margins of the next page.
