ASCII Codes
ASCII codes are the actual letters or codes that can be
seen on the screen. Most of these letters can be entered
directly from you keyboard. Some codes (like the ESC
key) are entered using their decimal equivalent.
For example, to enter an ESC, hold down the ALT key and
enter its decimal value of 027 then release the Alt key.
You will see a '
', its screen character.
Most printers use an ESC to start a printer code. For
example:
HP LASER
Condensed on:
Decimal Vaule: 027 038 107 050 083
You can toggle between the ASCII and DECIMAL value using
the F10 key.
Press RETURN for help menu
HELP_PRN
What to Enter
The codes are unique for each printer and will control
the different features it offers. They are normally
listed in the user manual for each printer.
Note that
not all printers support all features. If you find a
code that isn't listed, look for a synonym.
For example, some printers refer to EMPHASIZED while
others call it BOLD. Both mean the same.
If you can not find a printer code for a feature,
leaving it blank will usually work just fine.

codes. Any code (including the NULL character) can be
entered using its decimal code. Each code is a number
between 0 and 255. Leading zeros don't need to be
entered. Each code must be seperated from the next with
a space.
For example:
HP LASER
Pica pitch: 027 038 107 048 083
