Standard commands
This chapter describes all Epson- compatible commands (ESC sequences).
Commands for changing character sets (see “Character set commands”) and
commands with which graphics can be created (see “Graphics commands”) are
not included here. Special commands (CSI sequences) for document proces-
sing or for processing MSR data are described in the chapter “Additional com-
mands”.
Notes about command description
The following first explains how the respective ESC sequence for a command is
described and of which components this description consists. An explanation re-
garding the interpretation of the pseudo code instructions in the program ex-
amples then follows. A note is then given on how the commands normally
behave when incorrect command parameters are transmitted.
All notes given in this section also apply for the “Character set commands“ chap-
ter and “Graphics commands” chapter and with variations also for the “Additional
commands“ chapter.
Description components
The description of the standard commands is divided into the following compon-
ents:
– Command name with ASCII coding in hexadecimal and decimal encryption
– Description of function and usage
– Additional notes on requirements, options and connections with other com-
mands
– Normally each command description is concluded with a short example
through which the usage and effect of the command is demonstrated.
