Purpose

Prints the data in the buffer (if any) and advances the paper one line at the

current line space setting.

Comment

If configured for LF equals newline (LF=CR+LF), the logical print head is

positioned at character column 1 of the new line. Otherwise, the logical print

head does not move when configured for LF function only (LF=LF ONLY).

The LF function cancels all single line print attributes such as double high

(elongated) and double wide (expanded) characters.

This code is always configured for LF=CR+LF in the P-Series protocol.

In the P-Series Even Dot Plot mode (high density graphics), the LF code

does not cause paper motion; the data in the buffer is plotted and the logical

print head is positioned at character column 1 in anticipation of the Odd Dot

Plot control code to complete high density graphic plotting.

In the P-Series Odd Dot Plot mode (normal density graphics), the LF code

plots the data in the buffer, advances the paper a single dot row at the current

vertical dot density, and positions the logical print head at character column

1.
