n = 1 to 255

Comment

The n/216-inch line feed control code is effective for one line only. All sinĆ

gle-line-only print attributes are canceled.
If the printer is configured for LF equals newline (LF=CR+LF), the paper

advances one line at the current line space setting and the logical print head is

positioned at character column 1.
The paper moves only in multiples of the current dot row spacing. If the disĆ

tance to move is other than a multiple of the current dot row spacing, the reĆ

mainder is added to the next paper motion command.
Small values of n may result in overlapping lines. Overlapping lines may also

occur if print attributes such as Elongated (Double High), Superscript, or

Subscript characters are used on the same line. Printing at different horizonĆ

tal and vertical densities will not overlap.
