NOTES:

1. The settings must be saved using the commands "% X1" in order to make the escape

character permanent.

2. The permanent escape character may be temporarily overwritten by the "&&??" sequence.

3. When you remove the permanent escape character by defining it to "00", the settings must be

saved using the command "%X1" after having defined a temporary escape character.
Otherwise the permanent escape character will still be in effect the next time the printer is
turned on.

4. Remember that when defining a permanent escape character, function 48 must start and end

with the "old" escape character.
