ASCII text is defined as printable characters, including alpha-numerics as well as punctuation and symbols. See Table
14 for a complete listing of ASCII characters. ASCII text can be entered directly into a custom transmit with a %e
(enter command). For example, Joe’s Fertilizer Plant%e.

Some ASCII characters are known as control codes, non-printable characters that instruct a printing device to perform
certain functions. For example, a carriage return forces a printer to move the print head to the left-most position
of the current line. A line feed forces the print head to move down one line. Enter control codes with a decimal
point, a 3-digit ASCII code, and a %e. For example, .013%e.

Most printers require a carriage return (.013) and/or a line feed (.010) to print preceding data and avoid
leaving data in the printer buffer. See Table 12 for a list of ASCII codes.
