The ESC character is DEC 027 or HEX 1B. Use the above table to determine which character code (Dec or Hex) that should be sent after the ESC character.

EXAMPLE. To set the "emphasized" mode in the printer, either of the following character strings may be sent.

ASCII…..ESC….E

Decimal…027…..069

Hex……..1B……45
