some commands or parameters may be different for a specific printer type. in those cases it will be indicated to which printer type a command or parameter applies.
characters used in control functions appear in monospaced type. table 1 explains some of the conventions used.
a pair of numbers separated by a slash ( / ) character indicates column/row notation. this notation refers to the location of a character in a standard code table, such as ascii. (example: 1/b = 1b is the hex-code for escape)
spaces appear between characters in sequence for clarity; they are not part of the format.
at the end of this chapter you will find a listing of the ibm proprinter emulation commands classified by hex code and a hex - decimal conversion table.
