Moving to the Carriage Return Point

When you begin labeling, the current pen location is the Carriage Return point (the beginning of your line of text is the point at which the pen is “returned” when a Carriage Return control code is sent to the printer). When the printer encounters a Character Plot (CP) command, or a Carriage Return control code within a Label command, the pen moves to the Carriage Return point, adjusted up or down by any line feeds. (The Character Plot command is described later in this chapter.)

The following commands update the Carriage Return point to the current pen location:
