Command:

Begin Underscore (BUS)

Format:

2B D4 nn 0A 01 bp

Printers:

3812, 5219

Action:

The Begin Underscore command specifies that all

subsequent text is to be underscored until the next End

Underscore command is received.
The bp parameter specifies the set of characters for

which to bypass underscoring. Valid values are 00h

(bypass horizontal Tab and indent Tab commands), 01h

(continuous underscore) and 80h (bypass Space,

horizontal Tab, indent Tab and relative horizontal print

position commands).
Underscoring is disabled either by an End Underscore

command or by a Set Initial Conditions command.

IBMEMUL:

Same as IBM.
If Option 53 — Underlining is set to 00 (!AGILE!

53=00;), PFS 27 — UNDL ON is sent to the printer

before the text to be underscored. PFS 28 — UNDLOFF

is sent to the printer after the text to end the

underscoring. Normally these PFSs turn underlining on

and off at the target printer.
If Option 53 — Underlining is set to 01 (!AGILE!

53=01;), underlining is achieved by sending underscore

characters in a second pass through the line.
