Space may be a printable character or a control code. The Space (SP) control code moves the current active position (CAP) to the right by one column position. Note: PCL printer commands (other than single-character control codes) are often referred to as escape sequences. When this character appears, the printer reads it and its associated characters as a command to perform and not as data to print. As the printer monitors incoming data from a computer, it “looks” for this character. Ec is a special control code which identifies the subsequent string of characters as a printer command. The first character is always the ASCII escape character, identified by the Ec symbol. PCL printer commands consist of two or more characters. The Form Feed (FF) control code advances the current active position (CAP) to the same horizontal position at the top of the text area on the next page. The Carriage Return (CR) control code moves the current active position (CAP) to the left margin on the current line. The distance to the next line is defined by the current line spacing (defined by the last VMI or line spacing setting). The Line Feed (LF) control code advances the current active position (CAP) to the same horizontal position on the next line. The Null (NUL) control code performs No Operation.
