FREESCAPE emulation
The escape character (decimal 27, hex 1B), found at the beginning of a standard PCL5 emulation
sequence, is an example of binary data. Not all systems are able to send binary data (non printing
characters) to a printer. The FREESCAPE emulation feature provides a way for these systems to
redefine the escape character by substituting a user-selected alternative (alternate escape code or
AEC). When the AEC is located at the beginning of a standard PCL5 emulation sequence, it is
interpreted exactly like the escape character.
Note:
The AEC can still be used as data. When found as command data, it is treated as
such. FREESCAPE emulation also permits you to use the escape character
and
AEC within the same sequence of commands.
The tilde character (~) is the default AEC.
To set an AEC with a PCL5 sequence:
Use either of the commands listed in the following table to change the AEC.
