LINE TERMINATORS
Some control codes and escape sequences act as line terminators.
Line terminators cause all data received since the last terminator to
be printed. Without a terminator, data will remain buffered.
DECIPOINTS
Throughout this manual decipoints are used as a unit of measure. A
decipoint equals 1/720th of an inch and is used as a standard of
measurement for parameters associated with set distances. A few
examples are margins, tabs, and vertical paper movements. See
Appendix D for the decipoint conversion tables.
SCS SMART GRAPHICS CAPABILITIES
The 5000 series printers have SCS smart graphics processing as a
standard feature that can be enabled via the CCU control panel
menus. The graphics emulations include both IGP and QMS Code V

graphics language emulations.

as:
