The next character printed following a BS command over-strikes the most recently printed character. In the backward print mode, each BS control character moves the printhead to the right one space.

The BS command can cause characters to be printed to the left of the left margin in the forward print mode or to the right of the right margin in the backward print mode.

Tab Horizontally

Control character: HT

Hexadecimal: 09

This command advances the printhead to the next horizontal tab stop and the printer starts the next print operation at that position. If the printer receives an HT command following the last horizontal tab stop on a line, the printer performs a carriage return and a line feed and starts the next print operation at the left margin.

Carriage Return

Control character: CR

Hexadecimal: 0D

This command causes the printer to perform the following functions.

qThe printer prints the current line of data from the print buffer and begins the next line at the left edge (column 1), set via the form configuration menu.

qIf right margin justification is active, the CR command causes each line of print to occupy the entire space between the left and right margins

qIf the expanded print mode is active, the CR command resets the printer to the normal print mode.

qIf the automatic line feed function is active, the CR command causes the paper to advance one print line.
