How you format commands depends on the software you are using.
Some software programs accept only the decimal format, while others let
you type in ASCII characters. (Some programs don’t let you insert printer
commands at all.) In addition, your software probably specifies certain
punctuation you must use to enter the command. If your software allows
you to send commands to the printer, the software manual should
explain exactly what format and punctuation are required.
