Comment The Delete code deletes the corresponding character in the print
buffer. As shown in Table 15 below, the four delete control codes
are used to delete DATE from the print line.

carriage return only. If configured for a carriage return and a line feed,
the contents of the buffer are printed on receipt of the CR code.
