LINE TERMINATORS

Some control codes and escape sequences act as line terminators.
Line terminators cause all data received since the last terminator to

be printed. Without a terminator, data will remain buffered.

DECIPOINTS

Throughout this manual decipoints are used as a unit of measure. A
decipoint equals 1/720th of an inch and is used as a standard of
measurement for parameters associated with set distances. A few
examples are margins, tabs, and vertical paper movements. See

Appendix D for the decipoint conversion tables.

SCS SMART GRAPHICS CAPABILITIES

The 5000 series printers have SCS smart graphics processing as a
standard feature that can be enabled via the CCU control panel
menus. The graphics emulations include both IGP and QMS Code V
version 2. There are separate programming manuals for each of these

graphics language emulations.

The graphics printing emulations provide capabilities for such things
as:

Barcoding (including POSTNET codes)

Rotated text

Downloading of and host-controlled selection of predefined forms

Loading of data into predefined forms
