Star Micronics 4111 Printer User Manual


 
I
For n enter one of the numbers from this table:
n
AUTOMATIC COMMAND
O(zero)<CR>, <LF> and <FF> work according to their basic
1 (one)
2
3
definitions,
<CR> will also generate a <LF> (but <LF> and <FF> stay
the same),
<LF> or <FF> will produce a <CR> too (<CR> by itself
won’t change),
<CR> generates a <LF> too, and either <LF> or <FF>
produces a <CR>.
After you send the command <ESC> &k 2 G for example, every time the
printer gets a Line Feed command it will move the print position down and
over to the start of the line. When it gets a Form Feed, the printer will also
move the print position back to the left.
4.4.16 Autowrap
One nice thing we get used to with a word processing program is not having
to worry aboutwords going pasttherightmargin. We don’t have to listen for
that typewriter bell at the margin any more.
This command does pretty much the same thing your word processing
program does.The importantdifference isthat itdoes not wrap words.When
you turn on Autowrap, if you send too many characters for a line the laser
printer prints the overflow on the next line.
If Autowrap is on, when the printer gets a character that would printbeyond
the right margin, itreturnstheprintposition for that character back to the left
and one line down (Carriage Return and Line Feed).
The Autowrap command works like a toggle switch:
<ESC>
&S n C
If for n you enter O(zero) then this wrap-around mode will apply.
But if for n you put 1 (one) this automatic wrapping of characters will not
happen. The default if you don’t send a command is no wrapping.
