(cc) The Special Function Control Code.

PION The Data Bit 8 Paper Instruction On command;

enter PION. When this command is sent, 7 data

bits are allowed; data bit 8 is enabled as the paper

instruction.

When data bit 8 is set high, the PION command

slews paper. When data bit 8 is set low, the PION

command prints data characters.

PIOFF The Data Bit 8 Paper Instruction Off command;

enter PIOFF. When this command is sent, 8 data

bits are allowed for character data because data bit

8 is disabled as the paper instruction. Subsequent

occurrences of data bit 8 in the data stream cause

printing from the extended character set.
