Hex 1
Hex 1 defines the first character (in EBCDIC) of the lead-in sequence
for hex passthru. Hex passthru enables sending commands in the
datastream to access features that are not available in standard IBM
emulations. Hex passthru requires two lead-in characters (Hex 1 and
Hex 2) indicating the beginning of the command stream and a
terminating character (Hex Term) indicating the end of the command
stream. Upon receipt of the two lead-in characters, the emulation
controller begins translating the EBCDIC characters 0 to 9 and A to F
into hexadecimal data. Two EBCDIC characters are combined into
one ASCII hexadecimal byte and sent to the printer. Translation
continues until the terminating character (Hex Term) is received.
