ASCII Code CR

Comment The CR code may or may not cause printing or paper motion, depending on the DEFINE CR CODE configuration parameter value. If the DEFINE CR CODE submenu displays:

Define CR Code

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 bold (double strike) print.

If the DEFINE CR CODE submenu displays:

Define CR Code

CR = CR+LF*

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