response is sent to the host when the Home key is pressed.
ESC M (outbound or from the keyboard)
In the unformatted page, this command moves the CA/BA to the first character position of the
next line. If the CA/BA is located at the bottom of the page, the new CA/BA moves to the first
character position of the top line. If the Scroll option is enabled, the scroll-up is performed and
the CA/BA is repositioned to the first character position of the newly created line.
In the formatted page, this command causes the CA/BA to move to the first unprotected character
position of the lower line. This operation wraps from the bottom line of the page to the top line of
the page.
