32 Line Matrix Printer Code V Programmer's Reference Manual

Graphics Mode Enable Commands

In order to enable the Graphics Mode, you must use the Graphics Mode

Enable command. Table 1 summarizes the Graphics Mode Enable and

Disable commands and the four alphanumeric commands, which are fully

described on the referenced pages. After enabling the Graphics Mode,

alphanumeric commands, standard graphics commands, or extended

graphics commands are available.

NOTE: Some systems pad the data stream with characters and spaces. If the

Code V file on your system contains padded characters or spaces

before the SFCC, this padded data must be ignored before the Code

V can operate. The Ignore Data command (X), discussed on page 89,

is provided for this purpose. Similarly, sometimes you may need the

Code V to ignore host-generated paper movement commands

(carriage return, line feed, form feed, etc.) in lengthy data streams.

The Free Format command (F), discussed on page 83, is designed

for this purpose.
