Printronix P9000 Series - Manual (Page 114)

Programming 6-16
Carriage Return
ASCII Hex Decimal
P-Series/
Serial CR 0D 13
Purpose Returns the logical print head to the first character column (resets the pointer
to the first character position).
Comment The CR code may or may not cause printing or paper motion, depending on
the DEFINE CR CODE configuration parameter value. If the DEFINE CR
CODE submenu displays:
DEFINE CR CODE
CR=CR
the characters following the CR are printed over the previous characters on
the line. If identical characters are placed in the same position on the line,
those characters will be printed in bold (double strike) print when the OverĆ
strike Mode is enabled from the control panel.
The CR=CR configuration causes subsequent printable data to overprint
previous data at half speed if Overstrike is enabled from the control panel
(and prints somewhat faster if Overstrike is disabled), unless an intervening
paper motion command is received. See the Overstrike/Overlay section on
Page 6-1.
If the DEFINE CR CODE submenu displays:
DEFINE CR CODE
CR=CR+LF
control code CR is converted to perform a carriage return and line feed funcĆ
tion.
The CR code in Serial Matrix printer protocol cancels expanded (double
wide) print when set by code SO and ESC SO (single line printing attribute).
