CHAPTER 2. ANSI EMULATION

CONTROL CODE AND ESCAPE SEQUENCE ACTIVITY LEVELS

ANSI control codes and escape sequences are assigned activity levels
depending on which print mode is currently active. The following
charts provide information on what to expect from the control codes
and escape sequences in each printing mode.
I-IGNORED

No noticeable effect on printing will occur.

V-VALID

These sequences do not affect the printing mode in
progress, but take effect when normal printing
resumes.

A–ACTIVE

This sequence takes effect immediately.

D–DATA

These control codes are used as data.

Notes

or ANSI (4410) emulation, <SO> and <SI> activate or

deactivate this printing mode. <SO> and <SI> are
VALID in bar codes and oversize print mode. They are
ACTIVE in expanded print mode. Please see Appendix
D, Description of Strapping options, ANSI (4800) or
ANSI (4410) tables on page 271 for details on options
which affect printer operation in ANSI emulation.
