Control Code 06
Control Code 06 defines the function of ASCII code hex 06 (ACK). You can
select an alternate line spacing of 6, 8, or 10.3 LPI.
Define CR Code
This option controls the action of the printer when it receives a Carriage
Return code (hex 0D) from the host computer. If this feature is enabled, each
time the printer receives a Carriage Return, it inserts an additional Line Feed
code (hex 0A) into the data stream. Do not use this feature if the host
computer sends line feeds to the printer.
• CR = CR (factory default). Does not insert an extra line feed after each
carriage return.
• CR = CR + LF . Inserts an extra line feed after each carriage return. The
next print position will be print position 1 of the next line.
Autowrap
This option defines the printer action when print data is received past the
forms width setting.
• With LF+CR (factory default). Performs an automatic carriage return and
line feed when data is received past the forms width.
• With CR . Performs an automatic carriage return (without line feed) when
data is received past the forms width.
• Disable . Discards any data past the forms width.
Overstrike
This option enables you to print bold characters.
• Enable (factory default). Turns on bold print. When enabled, overstrike
printing slows down the printer.
• Disable . Turns off bold print.
Define LF Code
• LF = LF (factory default). Does not perform an automatic carriage return
when a line feed command is received. The next print position will be the
current print position of the next line.
• LF = CR + LF . Forces an automatic carriage return with each line feed
command received. The next print position is print position 1 of the next
line.
Printer Select
• Disable (factory default). Ignores the ASCII DC1 and DC3 control codes.
• Enable . Disables the printer when a DC1 control code is received, and
enables the printer when a DC3 control code is received.
