2.1.3. Defining Permanent Escape Character
The paragraph "Defining a temporary ESC character ", only de-

printer, you will have to use Function 48, Select Perma nent Escape
Character, and save the settings in the permanent memory by the
command X1 before powering off.
To program Function 48, a temporary escape character has to be
defined first.
You can define the permanent ESC character in two ways:
1. In hex value, e.g. %Y48,09%
2. In apostrophe notation, e.g. %Y48,'<'%
&&??% Define temporary escape
%Y48,’<‘% Define permanent escape

NOTE:
If the character used in Function 48, Select Permanent
Escape Character, is different from the one specified
as temporary ESC character, the latest specified char-
acter will take precedence immediately.
