Control Code 06

Control Code 06 defines the function of ASCII code hex 06 (ACK). You can
select an alternate line spacing of 6, 8, or 10.3 LPI.

Define CR Code

This option controls the action of the printer when it receives a Carriage
Return code (hex 0D) from the host computer. If this feature is enabled, each
time the printer receives a Carriage Return, it inserts an additional Line Feed
code (hex 0A) into the data stream. Do not use this feature if the host
computer sends line feeds to the printer.

CR = CR

(factory default). Does not insert an extra line feed after each

carriage return.

CR = CR + LF

. Inserts an extra line feed after each carriage return. The

next print position will be print position 1 of the next line.

Autowrap

This option defines the printer action when print data is received past the
forms width setting.

line feed when data is received past the forms width.

data is received past the forms width.

printing slows down the printer.

(factory default). Does not perform an automatic carriage return

when a line feed command is received. The next print position will be the
current print position of the next line.

command received. The next print position is print position 1 of the next
line.
