Appendix B

IBM ProPrinter X24 and IBM ProPrinter II Commands

Characters used in control functions appear in monospaced type. The table below
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 begin of this chapter you will find a listing of the IBM ProPrinter Emulation
commands classified by Hex Code and at the end a Hex - Decimal conversion table.

The following conventions are used in the command listings:

Conventions:

ESC Escape (1/B), introduces an escape sequence

Pn Numeric parameter, or number of units that specify a distance or

quantity pertaining to the escape sequence, control function or control
string. Accepted values are 0...9999, may be preceded by + or -.
If the parameter is in normal notation like "200" the programming in hex-
code is according to a ASCII table. ("200" = 32,30,30 in hex).

n1..n2..n3....nn A series of parameters pertaining to the escape sequence, control

function or control string.

SP Is standing for Space (hex 20).

Note:

Some commands or parameter may be different for a specific Printer type.

In that case it will be indicated by the Printer name to which printer a command or
parameter applies.
