To Exit the P–Series Plot Mode

When returning to the print mode from the P–Series Plot Mode, include an extra line feed in the data stream to maintain proper print line registration relative to the last line of plot graphics. If the extra line feed is not included, the first character line after the graphics data may be truncated, as shown in Figure Figure 4–10.

In this example, a text line follows plot data, preceded by a single line ter- minator code. (Text characters extend into the range of the previously printed plot line and appear truncated.)

This example shows a text line fol– lowing plot data, but preceded by an additional line terminator code. (Char- acters are able to be printed full– height.)
