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.

Control Code 08

Control Code 08 defines the function of ASCII code hex 08 (BS). You can
define the code to output an elongated character or a backspace.

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. 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.

Auto LF

This option defines the printer action when print data is received past the
forms width setting.

•

Disable. Discards any data past the forms width.

•

Enable. Performs an automatic carriage return and line feed when data is
received past the forms width.

Overstrike

•

Enable. Common dots appear darker in characters printed over each
other, as shown below. The print position moves one-half dot to the right.
Overstrike printing occurs at a decreased speed.

•

Disable. If you are using a control code for overstrike, but it is disabled in
the printer control panel, no bolding will occur.

Define LF Code

•

LF = CR + LF. Forces an automatic carriage return with each line feed
command. The next print position is print position 1 of the next line.

•

LF = LF. Does not perform an automatic carriage return. The next print
position will be the current print position of the next line.
