Control Code 06
This option will select alternate line spacing. When the printer receives a hex
06 command, the line spacing will change to spacing specified in this option
for the current line only.
• 8.0 LPI (the default)
• 10.3 LPI
• 6.0 LPI
Define CR Code
The DEFINE CR CODE (Define Carriage Return Code) option controls the
action of the printer when it receives a Carriage Return code (ØD hex) from
the host computer. If this feature is enabled, each time the printer receives a
Carriage Return, it inserts an additional Line Feed code (ØA hex) into the
data stream. Do not use this feature if the host computer sends Line Feeds to
the printer.
• CR = CR (the default) does not insert an extra Line Feed after each
Carriage Return.
• CR = CR + LF inserts an extra Line Feed after each Carriage Return. The
next print position will be print position 1 of the next line.
Auto LF
The AUTO LF (Auto Line Feed) option defines the printer actions when
print data is received past the forms width setting.
• ENABLE (the default) performs an automatic carriage return and line
feed when data is received past the forms width.
• DISABLE discards any data past the forms width.
Overstrike
The OVERSTRIKE option determines the action required when a line is
printed over a previous line because a carriage return was received without a
line feed.
• ENABLE (the default) prints the second line on top of the first line.
• DISABLE replaces the characters from the first line with the second line.
