For nenter one of thenumbers from this table:
nAUTOMATIC COMMAND
O(zero)<CR>, <LF> and <FF> work according to their basic
1(one)
2
3
definitions,
<CR> willalso generate a<LF> (but <LF> and <FF> stay
the same),
<LF> or <FF> willproduce a<CR> too (<CR> by itself
won’t change),
<CR> generates a<LF> too, and either <LF> or <FF>
produces a<CR>.
After you send the command <ESC> &k 2Gfor example, every time the
printergets aLine Feed command it will move the print position down and
over to the startof the line. When it gets aForm Feed, the printer will also
move the print position back to the left.
4.4.16 Autowrap
Onenice thing we get used to with aword processing program is not having
toworry about wordsgoing past theright margin.We don’t haveto listen for
that typewriter bell at themargin any more.
This command does pretty much the same thing your word processing
programdoes. Theimportant differenceis thatit doesnotwrap words. When
you turn on Autowrap, ifyou send too many characters for aline the laser
printer prints the overflow on the next line.
IfAutowrap is on, when theprinter gets acharacter that would print beyond
theright margin,it returnsthe printposition for thatcharacter back tothe left
andone line down (Carriage Return and Line Feed).
The Autowrap command works likeatoggle switch:
<ESC> &S nC
If for nyou enter O(zero) then this wrap-around mode will apply.
But if for nyou put 1(one) this automatic wrapping of characters will not
happen. The default if you don’t send acommand is no wrapping.
