C ( ^ n1 n2 d

,.. d

is the command for printing control codes as data where n1

and n2 are variables and d

...d

represent the data that is to be printed as

characters. The variables n1 and n2 tell the printer "the next xx

ASCII

codes are to be

interpreted as characters instead of control codes”. This command is used primarily

to print displayable characters such as ASCII values 0 through 31 in Registered Tables

1 through 9 which are normally used as

control codes (LF, FF,

ESC, etc.)

determine the values for n1 and n2 perform the following steps.

Determine how many ASCII codes will be sent sequentially immediately

following n1 and n2

Using long division, divide the quantity of ASCII codes that will be sent

sequentially immediately following n1 and n2 by 255.

The remainder in the quotient is the value for n1.

The whole number in the quotient is the value for n2

EXAMPLE

1. The symbols for the different suits of a card deck (hearts, diamonds, clubs,

and spades

V’,

and

are to be printed. These are each separate

ASCII codes (ASCII codes 2, 3, 4, and 5 when using the PC437 Character

table).

2. 4 divided by 255=

0 with a remainder of 4.

3. n1=4

4. n2=0

In the Basic programming language, the command would look like this.

This command, as listed in the line above, will cause the printer to print the symbols

for the different suits of a card deck (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades

V’,

+, 4,

and

4).

Another example of using the ESC ( ^ command is illustrated in the

explanation of the ESC ( t (Assign Character Table) command.
