150B Control Codes
150B/L150B printers recognize certain ASCII characters and character
sequences as control codes. These codes, when placed within a program
line, cause the printer to react according to the code. There are specific
codes that can:
make the data in the associated data line print in a particular manner
do a line feed
move to the next tab stop
perform some other activity where no actual printing is involved
The control codes and associated configuration options that define specific
printer operations are contained in the Configuration chapter. See Table 79
if you want to use a programming language (such as BASIC) to control
printer output.
