- 1) If your printer does not have a code corresponding to any of the
- above actions, please delete that line
- 2) In addition to regular characters in the control string, you can have :
- \E escape character (decimal 27)
- \xxx where xxx are 3 decimal digits - this will send the decimal
- code to the printer
- \\ a backslash will get sent to the printer
- ^A control A (decimal 1)
- ^B-^Z decimal 2 to 26
- ^@, ^[, ^\, ^], ^^, ^_ decimal 0, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31

- For example, the control string \E1G^F\237 would send to the printer
- decimal 27, decimal 49 ('1'), decimal 71 ('G'), decimal 6, and decimal 237
-
- 3) You can have fonts Fa thru Fz. This is particularly good for the HP
- Laserjet.
