number equivalent to the ASCII value of the control character to
be encoded. When a control character is required within the
form data, the control character must be entered in its
hexadecimal format and preceded by the CNTL encoding
character.

form’s fill-in data. The character is always in the range from 20
through 7E hex. The form-data switch character must be
different from the control-character encoding character. The
form data switch character is not printable within the form and
should not be used in any control sequence in the form.

that defines the length of the string that follows. The string
count includes all characters other than uncoded control
characters 0 through 1F hex.
Form Data String

sequences with encoded control characters. Terminate the
string with a
ST (ESC \ or decimal 156)
command.
