Following are the conventions used in the syntax descriptions of each
command.

Symbol Description

Separates items in the command sequence.

< >

Indicates a variable with a single-byte value.

' '

Indicates the value is a literal. Enter the value as it appears or
use the ASCII hex values for the same characters.

( )

Indicates a variable of any length.

# #

Indicates a variable of an exact length.

ESC

Indicates the beginning of a command sequence. Enter 1B hex
for this item.

CR-LF-

NAK

Indicates the end of a response from the printer. In the
response, it is represented as 0D 0A 15 hex.

These conventions make it easier for you to read the commands' syntax
descriptions. They are not part of the data streams. For example,
ESC-'F1' may be the syntax description, but the application substitutes 1B
for

ESC. Also, - and ' (and other such characters described here) are not

part of the data stream.

The printer ignores commands with syntax errors.
