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.
