It all depends...  Some machines use Ctrl-H as 
Return-to-beginning-of-line character.  Anyway, most printer manuals will 
have a list of all the ASCII codes and what they do, so take a look.  
Here's some that I remember off the top of my head...

Ctrl-?  Backspace on some System V UNIX boxes.
Ctrl-M  Carriage return.
Ctrl-C  Break.
Ctrl-G  Bell.
Ctrl-B  Cursor left.
Ctrl-A  Cursor right.
Ctrl-C  Cursor up.   } These two could be the other way round...
Ctrl-D  Cursor down. }
