GENERAL TEXT / CONTROL CHARACTER ENTRY
Text or control characters are simply entered into the printer data string. All ASCII characters from 1dec to 127dec
can be entered with the exception of the “@” symbol which the 9850 uses for its control characters (enter “@@”
to print a single “@”). If 8 bit data transmission is enabled additional codes 128 to 255 can also be assigned.
These upper numbers are often used for graphics characters on printers. “@” Commands are case sensitive, only
capital letters are used.
Input Data Form
With the exception of characters following the command “@” symbol, all characters are treated as printable text
or control characters. The MSI 9850 represents characters that can’t be displayed on the LCD with a checkered
pattern. The “ASCII Characters” Menu is provided to input Punctuation, Symbols, Control Characters, or the
decimal byte value for any other character not included in the standard 9850 character set. Use the ASCII table
(Appendix B) to determine the decimal number equal to any desired character. Some serial devices will define
special functions or characters for values above 127, the standard end of the ASCII character set.
