118 USING THE M208’S COMMAND SET: npsh Command Set
set var NEW_VAR $ESC E
sets a variable named NEW_VAR with an HP PCL defined printer reset.
When inputting a “
$” or a “&” and you’re using RSHD to execute this com-
mand, you must place a “
\” beforehand so the local shell interpretor doesn’t
parse it out.

slip
slip
Configures the serial port as a SLIP connection from a terminal or PC con-
nected to the particular serial port. This command cancels npsh on the serial
port and starts SLIP. Once the connection is broken, SLIP is automatically
stopped and the serial port returns to npsh mode.

types of tests can be done:
1 fox message test.
A continuous stream of text is sent to the output I/O port as follows:
1 The quick brown fox jumps over the slow lazy dog’s back 1234567890 :!@#$&().
