2、rogression. The control functions defined in this International Standard are intended to be used embedded in character-coded data for interchange, in particular with character-imaging devices. In general, the control functions are defined by their effects on a character-imaging input/output device.
3、It is, therefore, necessary to make certain assumptions about the architecture of such a device. These assumptions are as unrestrictive as possible: they are specified in clause 6. In addition to being performed the control functions may need to be represented by a graphic symbol. The structure of t
4、his International Standard is open-ended, so that more control functions can be included in future editions. Other standards specifying control functions may define more restricted definitions of them than those in this International Standard. The devices to which this International Standard applies
5、 can vary greatly from each other depending on the application for which a device has been specifically designed. It is technically and economically impractical for one device to implement all the facilities specified in this International Standard. The intention is that in any type of device only a
6、 limited selection of the facilities appropriate to the application will be implemented. 2 Conformance 2.1 Types of conformance Full conformance to a standard means that all of its requirements are met. Conformance will only have a unique meaning if the standard contains no options. If there are opt
7、ions within the standard they must be clearly identified, and any claim of conformance must include a statement that identifies those options that have been adopted. This International Standard is of a different nature since it specifies a large number of facilities Tom which different selections ma
8、y be made to suit individual applications. These selections are not identified in this International Standard, but must be identified at the time that a claim of conformance is made. Conformance to such an identified selection is known as limited conformance. The facilities selected for a particular
9、 application may be registered according to IS0 2375 for ease of reference in information interchange. 2.2 Conformance of information interchange A CC-data-element within coded information for interchange is in conformance with this International Standard if the coded representations of control func
10、tions within that CC-data-element satisfy the following conditions: a) a coded representation of a control function that is specified in this International Standard shall always represent that control function; b) a control function that is specified in this International Standard shall always be re
11、presented by the coded representation that is specified in this International Standard for that control function: c) any coded representation that is reserved for future standardization by this International Standard shall not appear. 1 ISO/lEC 6429:1992 Q c) any coded representation that is reserve
12、d for future standardization by this International Standard shall not appear. Coded representations of control functions and modes not specified in this International Standard may appear in interchanged information subject to the above conditions (see 5.4.5.4.1 and 7.4). 2.3 Conformance of devices A
13、 device is in conformance with this International Standard if it conforms to the requirements of 2.3.1, and either or both 2.3.2 and 2.3.3. Any claim of conformance shall identify the document which contains the description specified in 2.3.1. 23.1 Device description A device that conforms to this I
14、nternational Standard shall be the subject of a description that: 9 identities, by reference to the clauses of, or to the control functions specified in this International Standard, the selection of control functions, the coded representations of which the device can originate or can receive and int
15、erpret ii) identifies the means by which the user may supply the corresponding control functions, or may recognize them, as specified respectively in 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 below. 2.3.2 Oriinating devices An originating device shall be capable of transmitting within a CC-data-element the coded representati
16、ons of an identified selection of control functions, and of their parameter values (including mode selection parameters), conforming to this International Standard. Such a device shall allow the user to supply any control function that he chooses from among the identified selection for the purpose o
17、f transmitting its coded representation over the coding interface. 2.3.3 Receiving devices A receiving device shall be capable of receiving within a CC-data-element and interpreting the coded representations of an identified selection of control functions, and of their parameter values (including mo
18、de selection parameters), conforming to this International Standard. If the identified selection contains a control sequence for which a default value for a parameter is specified in this International Standard, the identified selection shall include the default value both in explicit and in implici
19、t representations. Such a device shall make available to the user any control function that is within the identified selection, and the coded representation of which is received over the coding interface, in such a form that the user can recognize it from among the control functions within the ident
20、ified selection. 3 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.
