The Home Head command sends the print head to the left margin (also
called the home position) to print the line that follows the command. This
unidirectional printing occurs for one line only, then normal printing
resumes. To send the print head home, use the following codes:

Backspacing
A backspace command is not acted on by the printer until a character or
print command is given after it. If a backspace is repeatedly required to
make several different combined symbols, add the BS command after each
character followed by the overprinted character. If superscript printing is
indicated, a BS command causes the printer to perform a reverse linefeed
to the backspace position and then prints the next character as a
superscript. Alignment is not guaranteed.
To print one character and then move the print head to the left and back
over it to print another character, use the backspace command. This
command helps create symbols not included on your keyboard, such as the
plus/minus (+) sign, a cent sign and a less than or equal to sign.
Note:
A backspace will not be performed beyond the left
margin.

When the automatic line feed is on, the printer does a line feed each time
it receives a carriage return (CR).
