Define CR Code (Carriage Return)
This option controls the action of the printer when it receives a Carriage
Return code (hex 0D) from the host computer. If this feature is enabled, each
time the printer receives a carriage return, it inserts an additional Line Feed
code (hex 0A) 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
This option defines the printer action when print data is received past the
forms width setting.
•
Disable . (the default.) Discards any data past the forms width.
•
Enable . Performs an automatic carriage return and line feed when data is
received past the forms width, causing the excess text to print on the next
line.
Overstrike
This option enables you to print bold characters.
•
Enable . (the default.) Turns on bold print. When enabled, overstrike
printing slows down the printer.
•
