printer control codes for normal, compressed, bold/emphasied, underlined and
whether you will enter the codes in decimal, hex or ASCII.
To enter your printer definition, press A)dd, and fill in the following fields:
(1) PRINTER TYPE - the name you give your definition so you can recognize it in
the future, example Epson RX-80. (2) Enter D, H, or A to (decimal,hex, ASCII)

and Description fields for the first four entries cannot be edited by you.
You can edit these fields after the first four fields, but the entries will not
be used by Household Register. ** Please Continue To The Next Page **

Codes and Off Codes for Normal, Compressed, Bold and Underline. The codes that
are used to implement the different instructions can usually be found in your
printer manual, they may be listed in decimal, hex, ASCII or all three.
For example the instruction characters to make an Epson MX/RX/FX/LQ print bold
are the "ESC" character followed by an "E". Each of the following correctly
define this sequence:
