The line feed command (ASCII LF, decimal 10) makes the printer print a line and then
moves the print position down one line on the page. If Auto CR is ON in the menu,
this line feed also results in a carriage return, which puts the print position at the left
margin.

The amount of vertical movement depends on the current line spacing. (See “Line
Spacing” for details.) This command also cancels one-line double width printing.
Unlike the simple LF code, the fine line feed commands are not accompanied by a
carriage return, and do not cancel one-line double width printing. If you substitute 0
for n in any of these commands, no line feed will be performed.
The fine line feed commands are ideal for printing graphics, since they give you precise
control over the vertical placement of dots in an image. The Graphics Fine Line
Spacing table below shows how to set line feeds for graphics so that the rows of dots
will not overlap or leave spaces vertically.
