Re: Convert printer escape code to HEX

[Paul Tykodi <ptykodi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Terry,

The typical PCL 5 - PCL 5e syntax to select an input
tray is <ESC>&l#H where # is a numeric value.

In ASCII hex, the values 30 - 39 equate to the decimal
numbers zero to 9. Thus a typical input tray selection
could be represented as follows in HEX:

1B - ASCII Escape
26 - &
6C - lower case L
#  - the input tray selection number, as an example if
it was 20 the values in HEX would be 32 30
48 - Upeercase H

In the WSCST, it might look something like this:

 1700   :ADDDRWTBL.     
 1800   :ADDDRWTBLE     
 1900   NUMBER= 3       
 2000   DATA = '1B266C323048'X.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
