32 Line Matrix Printer PCL II Programmer's Reference Manual

Programmable VFC

• As an OCTAL number (one byte at a time) by preceding the number with

the % sign.

• As a two or three character mnemonic such as BS or DC1 (see Appendix

B of the Workstation Configuration manual).

• By entering the control characters with the up-arrow or circumflex

character preceding the character, i.e. a backspace would be an ^H.

• By entering the actual ASCII character within single quotes, i.e. ’A’ would

equate to an OCTAL %101.

Each character entered, with the exception of multiple ASCII characters within

the single quote, MUST BE separated by commas. An example would be

“ESC, '&16W', %101, 'ABC', BS, 13”.

NOTE: Only one byte may be specified at a time in OCTAL, thus allowing a

maximum of OCTAL 377 which would place a 1 in columns 1-8.
