3.0 - 1B 4X and Control Characters

Sending the following command bytes to the CTOV box will cause the VPI output to assert the appropriate remote function line. The
VPI print/plot line will be placed low (raster mode) before the remote function line is asserted:

1B 41

remote clear

1B 42

remote line terminate

1B 43

remote end of transmission

1B 44

remote form feed

1B 45

remote reset


1B 50 ZZ
asserts repeating remote line terminates from ZZ = 01 hex to

FF hex

NOTE:
These commands must be sent when the CtoV box is in print mode (section 2). The commands will be ignored and interpreted as
raster data if they are sent at any other time.

The CtoV box also obeys standard control characters that must be sent when the CtoV box is in print mode:

04

end of transmission

0A

line feed

0C

form feed

0D

(carriage return - this byte is ignored)
