Machine carriage control characters
Machine carriage controls were originally the actual hardware control commands for InfoPrint printers and are often used on non-InfoPrint systems. Machine controls are literal values, not symbols. They are not represented as characters in any encoding, and therefore, machine controls cannot be translated. Typical machine controls are:
| Machine | Action |
|---|---|
| X'09' | Print the line and single space |
| X'11' | Print the line and double space |
| X'19' | Print the line and triple space |
| X'01' | Print the line (do not space) |
| X'0B' |
