Operation Manual

Miscellaneous Features
Carriage
return
and
line
feed
When
the
printer
receives a Carriage Return (CR)
command,
it will
print
a line
of
data
and
return
the
printhead
to
the
left
side
of
the
page.
When
it receives a Line Feed
(LF)
command,
the
printer
will
advance
the
paper
one
line.
Normally
your
computer
will
automatically
add
a carriage
return
and
line feed
at
the
end
of
a
line,
but
at
times
you
may
want
to include these
commands
in
your
program.
Note: Normally, the
IBM
PC
adds
a line feed command to each CR command.
In
IBM
SET1, you can
send
a
CH
R$(141) Carriage Return command which causes
a return
without
an
automatic
LF.
If
your
printer prints several lines without
advancing the paper, you will have to set the
print
menu option AUTO
LF,
toY
by
using the Menu Select Mode.

This executes
an
immediate reverse line feed, which is acted
on
only once
upon
receipt. Therefore, if you
want
to reverse several
lines,
the
command
must
be
sent
once for each reverse line feed
required.
It
is
not
possible to reverse over
the
Top
of
Form.
Note: The reverse line feed command should not be
sent
to a printer with a Pull
Tractor Feed
Unit attached.
