Notes: ASCII control codes are sometimes used to “formalize” a communications session between
communication devices.
DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4, FS, GS, RS,
and
US
all have user-defined meanings, and may
vary in use between sessions or devices.
DC4
is often used as a general “stop transmission character.”
Codes used to control cursor position may be used to control print devices, and move the print
head accordingly. However, not all devices support the full set of positioning codes.
