Chapter 3 LinePrinter Plus Emulation
Define LF Code
The Define LF Code option controls the action of the printer when it receives a Line Feed code (hex 0A) from the host computer. If this feature is enabled, each time the printer receives a Line Feed, it inserts an additional Carriage Return code (hex 0D) into the data stream. This feature is required if the host computer does not send Carriage Returns to the printer.
•LF = LF. Does not add a Carriage Return with a Line Feed.
•LF = CR + LF. Adds an extra Carriage Return with each Line Feed.
Printer Select
•Disable. Ignores the ASCII DC1 and DC3 control codes.
•Enable. Disables the printer when a DC1 control code is received, and enables the printer when a DC3 control code is received.

Compressed print characters are narrower than the normal character set. This is helpful for applications where you need to print the maximum amount of information on a page.
•Enable. Prints about 60 percent of the width of normal characters when compressed print is chosen by the host computer.
•Disable. Does not compress print widths, even if condensed print is chosen by the host.
