Returns the logical print head to the first character column (resets the pointer
to the first character position).
CHR$(13);
The CR code may or may not cause printing or paper motion, depending on
the DEFINE CR CODE configuration parameter value. If the DEFINE CR
CODE submenu displays:
DEFINE CR CODE
CR=CR
the characters following the CR are printed over the previous characters on
the line. If identical characters are placed in the same position on the line,
those characters will be printed in bold (double strike) print. The CR=CR
configuration causes subsequent printable data to overprint previous data at
half speed unless an intervening paper motion command is received.
If the DEFINE CR CODE submenu displays:
DEFINE CR CODE
CR=LF+CR
control code CR is converted to perform a carriage return and line feed func
tion.
The CR code in the Serial Matrix mode cancels expanded (double wide) print
when set by code SO or ESC SO (single line printing attribute).
