Using Escape Sequences in 3270 Mode

In a multiuser environment, several programs or display stations may require special
printing formats. It is possible to vary printed output by sending 2124 escape sequences
to the 1330 in the datastream. The requirement to reset parameters from the 1330 operator
control panel is therefore eliminated.

A 1330 printer escape sequence consists of an escape character and an escape code.

• The escape character alerts the 1330 to expect an escape code. This appendix

provides instructions for setting the escape character from the operator control
panel. Check with your system manager for the correct escape character to use.

• Escape codes give the 1330 specific instructions to change a parameter, such as

font, number of lines, or characters per inch. During printing, escape codes in the
datastream take priority over parameters set from the control panel. In addition,
the 1330 provides escape codes to vary character style, including italicizing, bolding,
underlining, and elongation.

An escape sequence is structured as shown below.
