Option 23 — Automatic Line Feed on Carriage Return

Discussion

Carriage return (0DH) does not cause a line feed and the character line is not printed in the default configuration. The character line must be terminated with a Form Feed, Line Feed, or EVFU (Electronic Vertical Format Unit) command before it is printed. In other configurations, carriage return generates 1, 2, or 3 line feeds.

NOTE: The Underline feature, Configuration Option 28, cannot be used if option 23.1–.3 is selected. These options set CR equal to one, two, or three line feeds, respectively, and cause the printer buffer contents to be printed before the underlines can be loaded into the buffer. The underlines are then printed one, two, or three lines below the desired position. A line terminator other than a carriage return (e.g, FF or EVFU terminator) must be used if 23.0 is not selected.
