(for example, using reverse video with the default font.) no operation. no operation. no operation. set 8th data bit to logic "0". this disables the previous command (15h). reserved, do not use. see escape control codes. set to scroll mode: sets the display mode so that whenever the cursor reaches the last position in the last column or a line feed occurs while cursor is on last row, the screen will scroll up one row. the top row of data will be lost and the bottom row of the display will be spaces. set to auto wrap mode: in this mode, the cursor will automatically wrap around to the next row. when the last character position on the screen is reached, the cursor will return to home position. blank display: the display is blanked, but display memory is maintained and new data can be entered. unblank display: the display is restored/turned to active state. number of bytes 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 2 2 1 1* 1 1* 1 1*
