Moving to the Carriage Return Point
When you begin labeling, the current pen location is the Carriage
Return point (the beginning of your line of text is the point at which
the pen is “returned” when a Carriage Return control code is sent
to the printer). When the printer encounters a Character Plot (CP)
command, or a Carriage Return control code within a Label
command, the pen moves to the Carriage Return point, adjusted
up or down by any line feeds. (The Character Plot command is
described later in this chapter.)
The following commands update the Carriage Return point to the
current pen location:
