quired to obtain alinefeed.
If you move this switchto the OFF position, the printer performs both a
carriage return and linefeed each time it receives acarriage-returncode.
Most computer systemssend alinefeed code, or both acarriage return and
linefeed, at the end of each line, so this switch should be left ON.

overprint each other, try changingthe setting of this switch.
