Dialogic ASCII to Fax Command Set

• Example

An ASCII data file may contain embedded escape sequences as shown in Table 31. Dialogic ASCII to Fax Command Set. These embedded sequences control certain graphical attributes such as font and line spacing from within the file and override the values specified at the application level in the DF_ASCIIDATA structures.

Insert ASCII escape sequences before the ASCII text you wish to change. The format you specify using an escape sequence is in effect until a new escape sequence is inserted.

On some Dialogic fax products, you can:

• Use the tilde (~) instead of the <ESC> sequence character to format ASCII documents. For example, both <ESC>F0 and ~F0 are valid control characters in an ASCII document.
  
  To print a tilde itself in an ASCII document, use two consecutive tildes (~~).
• Specify italicized text using <ESC>I1 or ~I1. To disable it, use <ESC>I0 or ~I0.

For product support, see Table 1. Key Fax Features and Specifications.

Example

Following is a sample sequence to specify bold ASCII characters for Dialogic:

     <Esc>B1Dialogic<Esc>B0

Follow your ASCII editor instructions to insert ASCII code 27 <Escape>.

Use uppercase letters with no spaces in the escape sequence.
