The CP (Character Plot) command includes an automatic pen up. When the command is completed, the original pen up/down status is restored.

CP moves the pen position in relation to the current position. CP is a movement command and does not affect the margin; to repeat the same movement for subsequent labels, you must issue new CP commands. (For information about the Carriage Return point, see “Moving to the Carriage Return Point” in the “Printing Labels” discussion near the beginning of this chapter. For more information on spaces, lines, and the character cell, refer to “Working with the Character Cell” earlier in this chapter.)

z No Parameters— Performs a Carriage Return and Line Feed (moves one line down and returns to the Carriage Return point).

z Spaces— Specifies the number of spaces the pen moves relative

	to the current pen location. Positive values specify the number of
	spaces the pen moves to the right of the current pen position;
	negative values specify the number of spaces the pen moves to
	the left. Right and left are relative to current label direction. The
	space width is uniquely defined for each font; use the ES
	command to adjust the width.
Note	If you are using a proportionally-spaced font, the width of the Space
	control code is used.
