Function ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal Description
Ignore ................................. NUL 00 or 80 0 or 128 The printer ignores this code unless it is used within an
escape sequence.
Continue printing? ............ ETX 03 or 83 3 or 131 With the ETX/ACK serial handshake in use, this code
causes the printer to return an ACK control code when it
can receive more data. When ETX/ACK is not in use, the
code prints the assigned character.
Bell ...................................... BEL 07 or 87 7 or 135 This code sounds the audible alarm for a brief period.
Backspace .......................... BS 08 or 88 8 or 136 This code moves the current print position one character
space to the left. If the current print position is the left-
most, the printer ignores this code. If this code follows a
graphics escape sequence, the code moves the current print
position left to where the graphics sequence began.
Horizontal tab .................... HT 09 or 89 9 or 137 This code moves the current print position right to the next
horizontal tab stop on the current line. If the next tab stop
on the line is beyond the right margin, the current print
position moves to the left margin. If no tab stop is set
to the right of the current print position, the current print
position moves to the leftmost tab on the next line. If no
horizontal tab stops are set, the audible alarm sounds and
the printer ignores this code. Also, if the factory defaults
are in effect, tab stops are set every eight print positions
across the page.
Line feed ............................ LF 0A or 8A 10 or 138 This code advances the paper one line space. If the current
line position is the last printable line on the page, the
printer performs a form feed instead of a line feed.
Vertical tab ........................ VT 0B or 8B 11 or 139 This code advances the paper to the next vertical tab stop.
If no vertical tab stop is set below the current line position
on the page, the printer ejects the page and advances to the
first line on the next page. If no vertical tab stops are set,
the paper advances one line space.
Form feed ........................... FF 0C or 8C 12 or 140 This code performs one of the following actions:
9 If a single sheet is loaded, the printer ejects the sheet
and moves the current print position to the left margin.
9 If pin-feed paper is loaded, the printer advances the
paper to the next top-of-form or top margin if one is set
and moves the current print position to the left margin.
9 If an automatic sheetfeeder is installed, the printer loads
a new sheet from the active bin. The sheet feeds to the
top-of-form or top margin if one is set and the current
print position moves to the left margin.
Carriage return ................ CR 0D or 8D 13 or 141 This code moves the current print position to the left mar-
gin. If automatic line feeding is active, the printer performs
a line feed in addition to the carriage return.
