AppendixB
PRINTER CONTROL COMMANDS
This appendix lists the printer's control commands, grouping them by
function and giving a concise description of each. The coding of each
command is shown in a format like the following:
< 27 > < 93 > < 48 >
The numbers in angle brackets are decimal character codes. In a BASIC
program the above command could be coded as follows (see Chapter 3):
Some commands have parameters for which values must be supplied.
These are indicated by italic letters such as n.
Most commands are the same in both the Commodore and ASCII modes,
but a few commands operate in only one mode. This is indicated by a note
"Commodore mode only" or "ASCII mode only."
A few commands have two equivalent forms. When an alternate coding
is listed, it gives the same result as the coding listed first.
OPERATING MODE COMMANDS

business and graphics character sets, reverse printing, and 7-pin graphics.
I

I
Selects the ASCII operating mode, which is the power-up default mode
