Chapter 3 Configuring the Proprinter III XL Emulation with Control Codes

Cancel

ASCII Code CAN

Hex Code 18

Dec Code 24

Purpose Clears the print buffer of all symbols since the last paper motion

command was received.

Discussion The CAN command cancels all characters sent to the printer

after the last paper motion command.

This command will cancel the double wide attribute if set by SO.

No other print attributes are affected.

Carriage Return

ASCII Code CR

Hex Code 0D

Dec Code 13

Purpose Returns the logical print head to the first character column

(resets the pointer to the first character position). May be

configured to include a line feed.

Discussion The CR code is configured via the ESC 5 code or via the control

panel menus (described in the

User’s Manual

). The CR = CR

configuration causes the character position indicator to be

positioned at character column one; subsequent printable data

preceding a paper motion command overstrikes previously

printed data. The CR = CR + LF configuration causes the CR

code to perform a carriage return plus a line feed.

The CR code also cancels expanded (double wide) print when

set by code SO (single line printing attribute).
