Code Sets D-5

Table D-2. AMT Datasouth and Diablo 630 Control Codes

Function

ASCII

Hexadecimal

Decimal

Description

Ignore ........................................

NUL

00 or 80

0 or 128

The printer ignores this code unless it is used within an
escape sequence.

Continue printing? ....................

ENQ

05 or 85

5 or 133

With the ENQ/ACK serial handshake in use, this code
causes the printer to return an ACK control code when it
can receive more data.

Bell .............................................

BEL

07 or 87

7 or 135

This code sounds the audible alarm for a brief period.

Backspace ..................................

BS

08 or 88

8 or 136

This code moves the current print position one character
space to the left. If the current print position is the left-
most, the printer ignores this code.

Horizontal tab ...........................

HT

09 or 89

9 or 137

This code moves the current print position right to the next
horizontal tab stop on the current line. If no tab stop is set
to the right of the current print position, the printer ignores
this code. If the factory defaults are in effect, tab stops are
set every eight print positions across the page.

Line feed ....................................

LF

0A or 8A

10 or 138

This code advances the paper one line space. If the current
line position is the last printable line on the page, the printer
performs a form feed instead of a line feed. If the automatic
carriage return mode is active, the printer performs a car-
raige return in addition to the line feed.

Vertical tab ...............................

VT

0B or 8B

11or 139

This code advances the paper to the next vertical tab stop.
If no vertical tab stop is set below the current line posi-
tion, the printer ignores this code.

Form feed ................................

FF

0C or 8C

12 or 140

This code ejects a single sheet or advances pin-feed paper
to the next top-of-form or top margin if one is set.

Carriage return .....................

CR

0D or 8D

13 or 141

This code moves the current print position to the left mar-
gin. If automatic line feeding is active, the printer performs
a line feed in addition to the carriage return.

Shift out .....................................

SO

0E or 8E

14 or 142

This code permits the printing of characters assigned codes
1 to 6. An SI or ESC SI sequence ends this function.

Shift in ........................................

SI

0F or 8F

15 or 143

This code cancels the printing of characters assigned codes
1 to 6.

Print character with ................

EM

19 or 99

25 or 153

If 7-bit data is in use, this code permits the printing of a

code above 127

character with a code above 127 decimal. When the printer
receives an EM code, it adds 128 to the next code it re-
ceives and prints the resulting character. This function
affects only the next code in the data stream.

Escape ........................................

ESC

1B or 9B

27 or 155

This code begins an escape sequence.

Print character ........................

GS

1D or 9D

29 or 157

This code permits the printing of a character assigned to a

assigned to control code

control code. After receiving a GS code, the printer does
not perform the normal control function for the next code it
receives, but instead prints the assigned character. This
function affects only the next code in the data stream.

Space ..........................................

SP

20

32

This code moves the current print position one character
space to the right.
