0DH — Carriage Return

Control Code 0DH causes the logical print head to move to the left margin

without any motion or printing activity. Therefore, to initiate printing you

must send a line feed with the carriage return. If you send configuration

Option 23 for line feed on carriage return, the buffer contents will print

when a carriage return is sent.

With Configuration Option 23 and 28

If you set Configuration Option 23 to 23.0 (CR=0 line feeds), the carriage

return will not cause printing, and therefore, the underlining feature

(Configuration Option 28) will function properly. However, printing will be

delayed until you add underlines to the buffer in the desired character

positions.

When you load the buffer with characters and underlines, printing will begin

with the next line feed when sent by the host computer. This activity will

result in a line printed with the appropriate characters underlined as shown in

Figure 7–3. See page 7–14 for a complete description of the underline

function.
