To Exit the P-Series Plot Mode

When returning to the print mode from the P-Series Plot Mode, an extra line feed should be

included in the data stream to maintain proper print line registration relative to the last line of

plot graphics. If the extra line feed is not included, the first character line after the graphics

data may be truncated, as shown in Figure 4-10.
