Genicom GEK 00031B manual Backspace, Bell, Carriage Return

CONTROL CODES

Backspace	Backspace <BS>: Moves the logical print position to the left one
	character space toward the first character column. When configured
	from the control panel for backspace, BS moves the character
	position one character space to the left at the current character pitch
	setting. This code is ignored if the logical print position is at the first
	character column.
	Decimal:	8
	Hex:	08H
	BASIC:	CHR$(8);

Indeterminate Conditions

This code can also be configured form the control panel to print double-high characters instead of a backspace.

Bell	Bell <Bel>: The printer's audible alarm will sound for 1/2 second
	when the bell code is received by the printer.
	Format
	<Bel>
	Decimal:	7
	Hex:	07H
	BASIC:	CHR$(7);
	Indeterminate Conditions
	Bell code cannot be disabled.
Carriage Return	Carriage Return <CR>: Returns the logical print position to the first
	character column. The CR code may or may not cause printing or
	paper motion, depending on the CR CODE configuration parameter
	value.
	Format
	<CR>
	Decimal:	13
	Hex:	0DH
	BASIC:	CHR$(13);

If the CR CODE option menu is set for CR=CR, the characters following the CR are printed over the previous characters on the line. If identical characters are placed in the same position on the line, those characters are printed in double strike print when the Overstrike mode is enabled from the control panel.

The CR=CR configuration causes subsequent printable data to overprint previous data at half speed if Overstrike is enabled from the control panel (and prints somewhat faster if Overstrike is disabled), unless an intervening paper motion command is received.

If the CR CODE is configured for: CR=CR+LF

Control code CR is converted to perform a carriage return and line feed function.
