Introduction
2.2.1 Defining temporary escape character
No ESC character has been defined from the factory.
If you wish to change the settings from the host system, you will have to define
an ESC character. See below how to define "%" as the temporary ESC character.
&&??%
Figure 2, Defining "%" as a temporary ESC character.
The five characters shown should be sent to the printer from the host system.
The ESC character is not defined permanently. When the power is turned off, it
will be lost. If you wish to save the defined ESC character you must define it as a
permanent escape character. (See section 2.2.3,)
NOTE:
The characters "," ";" and ":" must never be used as ESC character, as they
are used as separators in escape sequences and will give unpredictable
printing results.
The same applies to 0-9, A-F, a-f and K,S,T,X,Y,Z, simple quote ('), & and
?. These must not be used as escape characters.
Avoid using your national characters as escape characters.
The following EBCDIC HEX codes have been defined as national language
characters and must not be used as ESC characters:
4A 4C 4F 5A 5F 6A 79 7B 7C 7F A1 C0 D0 E0
2.2.2 Removing temporary escape character
If you wish to remove the temporary escape character in order to use that
character as a printable character, you can define it as a space.
