Control Code 06
Control Code 06 defines the function of ASCII code hex 06 (ACK). You can
select an alternate line spacing of 6, 8, or 10.3 LPI.
Define CR Code
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 (factory 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.
Autowrap
This option defines the printer action when print data is received past the
forms width setting.
•
With LF+CR (factory default). Performs an automatic carriage return and
line feed when data is received past the forms width.
•
With CR . Performs an automatic carriage return (without line feed) when
data is received past the forms width.

printing slows down the printer.

when a line feed command is received. The next print position will be the
current print position of the next line.

command received. The next print position is print position 1 of the next
line.
