column 9.

as part of a graphics data sequence, it is interpreted as a graphics
space. Null is used by some escape sequences to end a series of
parameters. When used as a parameter of a sequence looking for an
even or odd value, it is considered even. Example: ESC S NULL

causes superscripting to occur.

(8.55 cpi if double-wide printing is enabled). Condensed printing
remains in effect for subsequent lines until cancelled.

line.
