Codes Category
In this category are choices that allow
you to determine the printer’s response
to certain conditions and to assign values
to parameters that are used by other
commands or escape sequences. Use the
Arrow and Enter keys to select Menu =>
Config Menu => Codes to get here.
Auto LF (Line Feed)
Auto LF causes the printer to perform a Line Feed each time it receives a
Carriage Return Control Code. This option is available for host systems that
cannot send a Line Feed Control Code.
Some computers automatically generate a Line Feed of their own at the right
margin. If your system does this and if Auto LF is enabled, it will result in a
double-space between lines of print. Consult your computer manual to deter-
mine whether this function should be turned off or on. Default is OFF.
Auto CR (Carriage Return)
Auto CR allows the printer to perform a Carriage Return (moves print location
to the left margin) when it receives either a Line Feed or Vertical Tab Control
Code. The default value is dependent on the emulation (see the list on page 3-
59 under Ser/Par Emul).
Line Wrap
If the printer gets to the right margin without receiving a paper movement
command, the Line Wrap parameter dictates how the rest of the data will be
treated. If Line Wrap is OFF the excess characters are lost. If Line Wrap is ON,
printer response is determined by the Wrap Line Feed (see below).
If Line Wrap is ON and Wrap LF is OFF, the printer performs a Carriage Return only
and overprinting can result.
If Line Wrap is ON and Wrap LF is ON, the printer performs a Carriage Return
plus a Line Feed and excess characters are printed on a new line at the left
margin.
The default value is dependent on the emulation (see the list on page 3-59
under Ser/Par Emul).
Wrap Line Feed
This parameter works in conjunction with the Line Wrap parameter above. The
default value is dependent on the emulation (see the list on page 3-59 under
Ser/Par Emul).
