Appendix B. SCS Control CharactersPrinter formatting can be accomplished via an assembler or DE/RPG program orvia communications. To use the SCS characters supported by communications,see the description under the desired communications access method: SNA, BSC,or MRJE. To use an assembler or DE/RPG program to format your printed output,code these following SCS characters that your 5256 or 5225 printer supports.Code the control characters in the printer output data stream intended for theprinter. The format of the data stream is:CC Data CC Data CC Datawhere CC is the control characters.The following table describes the general functions provided by the printer controlcharacters. A detailed description of each control character follows the table.SCS ControlCharacter Hex Code FunctionBell 2F Bell; sound bell on printerCR OD Carrier returnFF DC Forms feedFmt 2B ...
