Apple ImageWriter II - Manual (Page 30)

When typing control sequences directly, do not include the spaces between the symbols or the hyphens
that separate the word CONTROL from the control character. ESCAPE means press the Escape key and
then release it. CONTROL means press the CONTROL key and hold it down while pressing the character
key.
Before starting, keep two things in mind. First, uppercase and lowercase are meaningful when writing
Escape sequences. That is, ESCAPE-N and ESCAPE-n are two different instructions. If your Apple
computer cannot generate lowercase characters, you’ll need to write your instructions with ASCII
characters.
On the other hand, the case of characters makes no difference when writing Control codes. CONTROL-n
and CONTROL-N send the same intruction.
