Define CR Code

The Define CR Code option controls the action of the printer when it receives

a Carriage Return code (hex 0D) from the host computer. If this feature is

enabled, each time the printer receives a Carriage Return, it inserts an

additional Line Feed code (hex 0A) into the data stream. Do not use this

feature if the host computer sends Line Feeds to the printer.

•CR = CR. Does not insert an extra Line Feed after each Carriage Return.

•CR = CR + LF. Inserts an extra Line Feed after each Carriage Return.

Auto LF

This option defines the printer actions when print data is received past the

forms width setting.

•Enable. Performs an automatic carriage return and line feed whe n data is

received past the forms width.

•Disable. Discards any data past the forms width.
