This section contains basic information on the DEC PPL2 commands supported in the
Compuprint 9060-LA and 9070-LA printers.
The commands are listed by function, in the following order:
Positioning Controls and Tabs
–
Sheet size and margins
–
Type size and spacing, managing implicit cursor motion
–
Font management and attribute selection
–
Selecting character sets
–

This guide is intended for use in conjunction with the Digital Ansi-compliant Printing Protocol
Level 2 Programming Reference Manual and the Digital Ansi-compliant Printing Protocol Level 2
Programming Supplement. These are referred to simply as the Programming Reference Manual
and the Programming Supplement, respectively.

Characters used in control functions appear in monospaced type. The following table explains
some of the conventions used.
A pair of numbers separated by a slash (/) character indicates Column/Row notation. This
notation refers to the location of a character in a standard code table, such as ASCII.
Spaces appear between characters in sequences for clarity; they are not part of the format. Space
is designated as "SP" when it is part of the format of a command or sequence.
The following conventions are used in the command listings:

Code Description
ESC
CSI

ST
Pn
Ps
In
F
Escape (1/11), introduces an escape sequence.
Control Sequence Introducer (9/11), introduces a control sequence. CSI can also be
represented by the equivalent escape sequence ESC [ (1/11 5/11).
Device Control String (9/0), introduces a device control string. DCS can also be
represented by the equivalent escape sequence ESC P (1/11 5/0)
String Terminator (9/12 ) indicates the end of a control string. ST can also b e
represented by the equivalent escape sequence ESC \ (1/11 5/12).
Numeric parameter, or number of units that specify a distance or quantity
pertaining to the escape sequence, control function or control string.
Selective parameter or one that identifies a list of options pertaining to the specific
command. If ">" (3/14) or "?" (3/15) occurs at the beginning of a string of
parameters, the following parameters are Digital private parameters. ">" or "?", if
present must occur only once at the beginning of the parameter string.
Intermediate character - component of an escape sequence, control sequence or
control string.
Final character - component of an escape sequence, control sequence or control string

Code Description
SP
Space (2/0)
C0 Control Characters are given in f igure "Standar d 8-bit Co de Table (Lef t Half)".
C1 Control Characters are given in figure "Standard 8-bit Code Table (Right
Half)". In the 7-bit environment, C1 Control Characters can be sent with an
escape sequence provided in the followi ng tables.
Both numeric and selective parameters are interpreted as unsigned decimal
integers, with the most significant digit sent first. For instance, the value 16 is
coded as "16" (3/1 3/6). Leading zeros are allowed but are ignored. Plus and
minus signs are not allowed.

Sixel Data (3/15 – 3/14) Sixel printable characters.
The printer substracts the offset (3F hexadecimal)
from the received code, assigning each of the
remaining low- order six bits to a grid position:
LSB = top pixel
MSB = bottom pixel
Examples: ? (3/15): blank character
@ (4/0): print only top pixel
A (4/1) : print second-from-top pixel
