PK80F Control Sequences
The following control sequences are for the PK80F Printer:
Note: Any time ESC is used in a command, the command needs to con-
tain the actual ASCII character for ESC (0x1B), not the letters E-S-C.
There should be no spaces before the next character. Sometimes a space is
included in the documentation for readability.
Commands Description
LF (0Ah) Line Feed A single LF prints, advances paper, and places a carriage return at the end of the line.
Multiple LFs continues to advance paper (or insert blank lines).

CRs after the first are ignored.
