Additional commands (Printer)
–
CSI starts the control sequence of an additional command and the sequence
of responses and stands for the sequence ESC [.
–
The parameters Pi, regarding number and use, depend on the respective
control command. Numeric parameter values are specified as ASCII charac-
ters (in contrast to the ESC sequences of the standard, character set and
graphics commands for which numeric values are transmitted to the docu-
ment printer in binary form). Leading zeros need not be sent.
–
Parameters are separated from each other by ; (semicolon). The assign-
ment of a value to a parameter results only from its position within the para-
meter sequence (parameter position).
–
If parameter positions are not occupied, the appropriate default values or the
value 0 will be set implicitly.
–
Even if parameter positions in a CSI command are not to be occupied, the
separator ; must be set at the respective parameter position.
Example:
CSI P1;P2;P3 I F
CSI ;P2; I F
CSI P1;;P3 I F
–
Intermediate (I) and final (F) characters end the control sequence or a re-
sponse.
Structure of the additional commands

= P1, P3 are default values
= P2 ist a default value
