Star Codes

This section lists the Star codes that are supported by the PcOS Series 150 Printer. Ithaca Peripherals
has no control over how Star extends or changes these control codes. Ithaca Peripherals makes no
guarantees as to the operation of its printer when it replaces a Star printer. The Star emulation is
intended to make it as easy as possible to replace a Star printer with a PcOS Series 150 Printer.
The following section lists the Star commands that are processed. They are as close as possible to a
Star printer. The user must remember that the Series 150 Printer is not designed as a drop in

features and functionalities to a POS receipt/validation printer.
