00005: ERROR=29 occurs when trying to send an escape sequence to a printer

Title:

ERROR=29 occurs when trying to send an escape sequence to a printer

Description:

ERROR=29 occurs when trying to send an escape sequence to a printer after using the ‘BO’ mnemonic.

Resolution:

Translate escape sequence to hex and place in a string variable. Example: 

>LET A$=$1B41$ 

Then, use the “begin output transparency” (‘bo’) and “end output transparency” (‘eo’) mnemonics to slip the escape sequence through the channel to the printer: 

>PRINT (CHAN) ‘BO’,A$,’EO’,
