Serial LF 0A 10
Purpose Prints
the data in the buf
fer (if any) and advances the paper one line at the current
line
space setting.
Comment If configured for LF equals newline (LF=CR+LF), the logical print head is posi-
tioned
at character column 1 of the new line. Otherwise, the logical print head does
not
move when configured for LF function only (LF=LF ONL
Y). The LF function
cancels all single line print attributes such as double high (elongated) and double
wide (expanded) characters.
This code is always configured for LF=CR+LF in the P–Series protocol.
In
the P–Series Even Dot Plot mode (high density graphics), the LF code does not
cause
paper motion; the data in the buf
fer is plotted and the
logical print head is posi
-
tioned at character column 1 in anticipation of the Odd Dot Plot control code to com
-
plete high density graphic plotting.
In
the P–Series Odd Dot Plot mode (normal density graphics), the LF code plots the
data
in the buf
fer
, advances the paper a single dot row at the current vertical dot den
-
sity, and positions the logical print head at character column 1.
