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.
Control Code 08
Control Code 08 defines the function of ASCII code hex 08 (BS). You can

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. 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.
Auto LF
This option defines the printer action when print data is received past the
forms width setting.
•
Disable. Discards any data past the forms width.
•
Enable. Performs an automatic carriage return and line feed when data is
received past the forms width.
Overstrike
•
Enable. Common dots appear darker in characters printed over each
other, as shown below. The print position moves one-half dot to the right.
Overstrike printing occurs at a decreased speed.
•
Disable. If you are using a control code for overstrike, but it is disabled in
the printer control panel, no bolding will occur.
Define LF Code
•
LF = CR + LF. Forces an automatic carriage return with each line feed
command. The next print position is print position 1 of the next line.
•
LF = LF. Does not perform an automatic carriage return. The next print
position will be the current print position of the next line.
