LINE FEED
FUNCTION
To print multiple lines of the same character size without specifying a new print
position for each line.

on one line to the top of the characters on the next line.
Place preceding the text that will use the line feed function.

THIS IS THE 2ND LINE<CR>
THIS IS THE 3RD LINE<CR>
<ESC>Q1<ESC>Z
OUTPUT

NOTES
With the Line Feed (<ESC>E) command, specify the number of dots you want
between each line. Then, send an ASCII <ESC>CR at the end of each line of text. The
printer automatically identifies the size of the last character, moves down the number
of dots specified, and begins printing the next line.
It is effective only for the current data stream.
When printing lines or boxes in the same data stream with the Line Feed command,
the Lines and Boxes command should be specified last, preceding Quantity
(<ESC>Q) command.
This command is invalid only if the value specified is zero.
Following this command with a <ESC>CR character will allow printing with auto line
feed. The print position will be determined from the value specified and the H value set
in the printer. If several “H” values are specified after this command, the print position
will be determined by the “H” value last specified. The font to be used must be
redefined after each “H” command.
