Graphic and Control Character Sequences
PPDS uses an ASCII encoding scheme to define controls and printable graphics.
Multiple code pages for printable graphics are supported. Control characters are
interpreted based on the environment established by any preceding control
characters and signals.
The 4247 Printer supports several ASCII code pages. Within a code page, a code
point can be treated as a printable character (including space) or as a control code.
The following data stream controls affect how a code point is interpreted:
ESC 6 Select PC Character Set 2
ESC 7 Select PC Character Set 1
ESC \ Print All Characters
ESC ^ Print Single Character
ESC[K
Set Initial Conditions
