Advances paper n/216 inch for one line only.
n = 1 to 255
The n/216–inch line feed control code is effective for one line only. All single–line–
only print attributes are canceled.
If the printer is configured for LF equals newline (LF=CR+LF), the paper advances
one line at the current line space setting and the logical print head is positioned at
character column 1. When configured for LF function only (LF=LF ONLY), the
logical print head remains at the current character column position.
The paper moves only in multiples of the current dot row spacing. If the distance to
move is other than a multiple of the current dot row spacing, the remainder is added
to the next paper motion command.
Small values of n may result in overlapping lines. Overlapping lines may also occur
if print attributes such as Elongated (Double High), Superscript, or Subscript char-
acters are used on the same line. Printing at different horizontal and vertical densi-
ties does not cause overlapping.
