Start Extended Data Compression (DC2)
The control character DC2 (12H) specifies the start of a 3-byte character 
sequence that defines Extended Data Compression (EDC) characteristics. 
The sequence consists of the DC2 control character followed by two 
parameters that specify an ASCII character to repeat and the number of 
times the character is repeated. The format for the sequence is as follows:
DC2 
p1 p2
where:
DC2 indicates the start of the EDC sequence.
