Software and Printer Compatibility
Your software sends information and instructions to the
printer over the cable that connects the printer to the
computer. In addition to data, the instructions you send

Some control codes are standard throughout the
microcomputer industry and are recognized by all printers.
Two examples of these are form feed (FF) and line feed
(LF).
