Control instructions
Control instructions are used to achieve specific results in the printout (e.g., underlining).
In addition to the standard control instructions (for bold, condensed, expanded, or italic type
and underlining), you can also use other control characters if you enter them in the control
character table on the CP 340: Point-to-Point Communication, Parameter Assignment user
interface before parameterizing the CP 340.
The figure illustrates the structure of the control instruction schematically.
