8.3. Defining a Temporary Escape Character
No escape character is defined when you receive the printer. If you wish to
change the settings of the printer from the host system, you will have to
define the escape character. See below how to define "%" as the tem porary
escape character.
NOTE:
The characters "," ";" and ":" must never be used as escape characters,
as they are used as separators in escape sequences and will be ig-
nored by the printer.
The same applies to 0-9, A-F, a-f and K,S,T,X,Y,Z, simple quote ('), &
and ?. These must not be used.
CAUTION!
Avoid using your national characters as ESC characters.
The following EBCDIC HEX codes have been defined as national
language characters and must not be used as ESC characters
