Turning OKIMATE on automatically sets the top-
of-page at the position where the printhead
meets the paper. When OKIMATE receives the
above command, it will feed the paper to the
next top-of-page position. After printing a docu-
ment, you can simply push the SELECT button for
more than two seconds to feed the paper to the
next top-of-page position.

When the printer receives a Carriage Return (CR)
56
with Line Feed (LF) command- CHR$(13), it prints
a line of data, and then feeds the paper one line .
CHR$(13) also stops reverse print and the func-
tion cut (FCUT) mode. When the printer receives
the CHR$(141) command, it will overprint the
lines of data on the same line. This command is
essential for printing color graphics .

When OKIMATE receives a Line Feed (LF) com-
mand, it feeds the paper one line at the current
line spacing. Although OKIMATE has a standard
line spacing of 6 lines per inch, you can specify
another line spacing for special effects, such as
14/ 144 inches for Commodore graphics.
