    That looks like commands sent to a Century Eagle label printer. It appears to say:

    {D1531,1000,1501|} Set label pitch to 153.1mm, width 100.0mm, height 150.1mm.

    {C|} Clear the image buffer

    {U2;0130|} Reverse feed by 13.0mm

    {D1531,1000,1501|} Set label pitch to 153.1mm, width 100.0mm, height 150.1mm.

    {AX;+000,+000,+00|} Adjust label position and so on...

    I'm assuming that this was interpreted by something that changed { to ESC, | to LF and } to NIL.
