Paper Instruction - Data Bit 8

Purpose

Enables or disables data bit 8 as the paper instruction signal
when the IGP is configured for a serial interface. (This command
has no effect on a parallel interface.)

The Special Function Control Code.

PION

The Data Bit 8 Paper Instruction On command;
enter PION. When this command is sent, 7 data
bits are allowed; data bit 8 is enabled as the paper
instruction.

When data bit 8 is set high, the PION command
slews paper. When data bit 8 is set low, the PION
command prints data characters.

PIOFF

The Data Bit 8 Paper Instruction Off command;
enter PIOFF. When this command is sent, 8 data
bits are allowed for character data because data bit
8 is disabled as the paper instruction. Subsequent
occurrences of data bit 8 in the data stream cause
printing from the extended character set.
