Description
Tab HT 09 Move the print position to the next horizontal tab
position. See ESC D. If a TAB is received and
there are no more tab positions set on the
current line, the TAB command is ignored. If the
TAB will exceed the right margin, an auto-print
is performed and the print position is set to the
start of the next line.
Line feed LF 0A Data on the current line is printed, paper is fed
one line based on the current line spacing, and
the print position is set to the left margin. If the
current line spacing is set to less than the
current font height then paper is fed to print the
current font height (see ESC 2, ESC 3 +n, and
ESC C +n).
Form Feed FF 0C Feed paper to end of page as defined by the
default page length of 11 inches or as modified
by the US C command. If TOF mode is enabled
(DIP switch 2 position 1 or ESC c 1 +n)) then
paper is fed until the next BLACK MARK is
detected. To advance to the BLACK MARK if
TOF mode is not enabled use the GS FF
command.
