3-2 Operating the Interface

Command Packets are used to pass ASCII characters to the printer from
an IBM-compatible twinax or coax host computer.

Command Packets can be sent from the DOS prompt or in a file (DOS
COPY command).

The following characters can be sent:

decimal 0-9 (EBCDIC F0 - F9)

or

characters A-F (EBCDIC C1- C6)

All other characters are ignored. This is a control measure so that only
valid characters and control codes are sent.

Here's an example of a packet that sends the ASCII Escape character to
the printer:

Example

&%1B$

The 1B represents the ASCII Escape character.
