Returns the logical print head to the first character column (resets the
pointer to the first character position).
CHR$(13);
The CR code may or may not cause printing or paper motion, depending
on the DEFINE CR CODE configuration parameter value. If the DE
FINE CR CODE submenu displays:
DEFINE CR CODE
CR=CR
the characters following the CR are printed over the previous characters
on the line. If identical characters are placed in the same position on the
line, those characters will be printed in bold (double strike) print. The
CR=CR configuration causes subsequent printable data to overprint
previous data at half speed unless an intervening paper motion command
is received.
If the DEFINE CR CODE submenu displays:
DEFINE CR CODE
CR=LF+CR
control code CR is converted to perform a carriage return and line feed
function.
The CR code in the Serial Matrix mode cancels expanded (double wide)
print when set by code SO and ESC SO (single line printing attribute).
