LF
Prints the data in the buffer (if any) and advances the paper one line at the current
line space setting.
If configured for LF equals newline (LF=CR+LF), the logical print head is posi-
tioned at character column 1 of the new line. Otherwise, the logical print head does
not move when configured for LF function only (LF=LF ONLY). The LF function
cancels all single line print attributes such as double high (elongated) and double
wide (expanded) characters.
This code is always configured for LF=CR+LF in the P–Series protocol.
In the P–Series Even Dot Plot mode (high density graphics), the LF code does not
cause paper motion; the data in the buffer is plotted and the logical print head is posi-
tioned at character column 1 in anticipation of the Odd Dot Plot control code to com-
plete high density graphic plotting.
In the P–Series Odd Dot Plot mode (normal density graphics), the LF code plots the
data in the buffer, advances the paper a single dot row at the current vertical dot den-
sity, and positions the logical print head at character column 1.
