Auto carriage return
When the auto carriage return is valid, each line feed (LF)
code or ESC J (n/216-inch line feed) code is always
accompanied by a carriage return (CR) code. The printer
always moves the next print position to the left margin when
it receives the LF or ESC J code. When this feature is invalid,
you must send the CR code after the line feed code to move
the print position to the left margin. This feature is available
in IBM emulation mode only.
