4.8.4 LINE FEED
Some serial devices (printers, terminals, etc.) insert a line feed automatically after they re-
ceive a carriage return character. When communicating with these device types, you should
set Line Feed to [OFF]. This instructs the computer to send a carriage return character with-
out adding line feed (creating an additional blank line after each carriage return).
Setting the Line Feed to [ON] tells the computer to insert a line feed character after each
carriage return that it transmits. This may be necessary to avoid the constant "wrapping" of
transmitted data onto a single line. The factory setting is [NO] (line feed disabled). Note that
the 996P portable printer requires [NO].

that entering a non-zero Network ID number suspends all routine Datalogger activity regard-
less of any selected options.
