> Function:
Prints the data in the print buffer and moves the printhead
one character to the left according to the character pitch
set.
> Additional details:
If a Multipass character (e.g. double height character)
needs to be printed, after the BS the printer performs a
back space and a LF to the printing position and prints the
character. (Precise printing position is not guaranteed.)
A backspace code given when the printhead is at the left
margin is ignored.
Moves back two character spaces if the printer is in double
width mode.
If clearance between characters is set, BS value will be
character width and clearance.
In proportional mode:
EPSON LQ – The first character is back spaced by the width
of the proportional character and subsequently by 10 CPI
character width (or reduced 12 CPI character width in
Reduce mode).
IBM – Back space by 12 CPI character width.
