Serial CR 0D 13
Purpose Returns
the logical print head to the first character column (resets the pointer to the
first character position).
Comment The
CR code may or may not cause printing or paper motion, depending on the DE
-
FINE CR CODE configuration parameter value. If the DEFINE CR CODE sub-
menu
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
will
print in bold (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 some
-
what
faster if Overstrike is
disabled), unless an intervening paper motion command
is received. See the Overstrike/Overlay section on page 6–1.
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.
The
CR code in
Serial Matrix printer protocol cancels expanded (double wide) print
when set by code SO and ESC SO (single line printing attribute).
