The meanings for these follows:

PUM

Position Unit Mode: Selects a unit of measurement used with the

escape sequences that control spacing parameters. When Position
Unit Mode is enabled, it selects either decipoints or pixels, depending
on the setting of the Select Size Unit sequence. When Position Unit
Mode is disabled, it selects a spacing unit equal to one character
position. The power-up default is PUM reset.

LNM

Linefeed New Line Mode: In the set state, LNM will cause a received

linefeed character to imply a new line, or carriage return. In the reset
state, a linefeed will provide vertical motion only, with no change in
the print position. The Default State of LNM is established by menu
selection.
