A line feed command causes the printer to move the print position
down. In contrast with a simple line feed command, with a variable
line feed of n/180 or n/360 inch there is no carriage return, regard-
less of the settings in the printer menu. If 0 is set for the parameter n
in this command, no line feed is executed.
The preset smallest possible step for the paper feed due to the de-
sign of your printer is 1/180 inch. Rounding errors are compensa-
ted for as far as possible.

If a form feed command is sent, the printer prints all data in the line
buffer and sets the current print position at the start of the next
page. You can also advance a page to the start of the next page by
