Low-level Paper Motion Control

Function	Carriage return
ASCII	[CR]
Hexadecimal	0DH
Decimal	<13>
IPCL	&%CR
EPOS	0DH
Description	This command prints the contents of the print buffer (if any) and resets the
	next character print position to the left margin. A line feed is not
	performed unless autofeed was active. The left margin is defined by the
	current print station, the print rotation direction, and the left margin
	command.
	Note: In single-line mode, the [CR] is used to terminate all lines. The
	printer will go busy6 after the [CR] is received. The printer will not be
	ready to accept data again until the previous data has printed.
Function	Line feed
ASCII	[LF]
Hexadecimal	0AH
Decimal	<10>
IPCL	&%LF
EPOS	0AH
Description	This command prints the contents of the buffer (if any) and advances the
	paper one line at the current default line spacing. The next character print
	position is not reset to the left margin unless auto-CR is active.

6In one-line mode, the parallel port busy signal will occur as a result of receiving the [CR].

In serial mode, the busy indication will be delayed until the [CR] is processed by the input software. Data sent to the printer after the [CR] will not be lost unless the printer is power cycled.
