Star Micronics 8111 Printer User Manual


 
Carriage return
The printer moves the print position back to the left margin when you send
a carriage return control code. The print position will not move down to the
next line (unless on the front panel’s menu you have set the Auto Line Feed
parameter ON):
<CR>
Line feed commands
The line spacing commands define what a “line” means for the following
commands. The default vertical spacing is six lines per inch.
You use this Line Feed command to move the print position, not to the left
margin, but just down the page one line:
CLD
Variable line feed commands move the print position back to the left margin
and either down or up the page, by some increment of l/2 16 inch. If the move
puts the print position below the bottom margin a new page starts. You move
the print position davn the page with this command:
<ESC> Jn
and up the page with this command:
<ESC> j n
In both cases, the n is the number of l/2 16 inch increments you want to move
(maximum 255).
Form feed
The Star Laser-Printer 8111 only prints a page when it receives a Form Feed
control code. If the last text in a document doesn’t fill up a page it may not
print immediately.
So to make sure one document doesn’t run right into the next, it’s a good idea
to make sure each document ends with a final Form Feed. In the rare event
you have set page length so two pages will print on one sheet, the sheet won’t
print until both pages are composed in memory.
The following command moves the print position to the top of the next page:
