Comment When
configured for backspace
(in P-Series printer protocol), BS moves the
character position indicator (the logical print head position) one character
space to the left at the current character pitch setting. The code is ignored if
the logical print head is positioned at the first character column. When the
backspace
code is received, printing speed for the print line may be reduced to
half.
