Background:
Although all dot matrix printers recommended for the CP-220A (see page 2-
64) generate their own carriage return (CR) at the end of a line, they can be
programmed – typically by their DIP switches or front panel controls – to
produce their own internal line feed (LF) (i.e., advancement of the paper up
one line) after each line of print is received. Since virtually all computer
software programs send their own line feed commands during printing, it's
generally not necessary for the printer itself to do so. Therefore, most
printers are factory programmed to avoid generating their own line feed,
using either the term AUTO LINEFEED or CR+LF.
