Backspace

ASCII Code BS

Hex Code 08

Dec Code 08

Purpose Moves the logical print head to the left one character space

toward the first character column.

Discussion When configured from the control panel for backspace, BS

moves the character position indicator (the logical print head

position) one character space to the left at the current character

pitch setting. The code is ignored if the logical print head is

positioned at the first character column.

Example If you were to print five “T” characters, then two BS commands,

then two “=” characters, the output would look like the sample

below:

upon receipt of this command.
