Star Micronics 8111 Printer User Manual


 
The Half Line Feed command is the one you want for subscripts. This
command moves the print position down the page one half the current line
depth:
<ES0 =
To send a reverse Half Line Feed, moving the print position up to let you print
a superscript, use this command:
cESC> &a -.5 R
Form feed
This command, like the PRINT button, makes the printer advance to a new
sheet of paper. When you send the cFF> control code you are also telling the
printer to print all its stored page information. Remember to send this
command to make sure any last partial page in your printer’s memory gets
printed:
cFF>
Define automatic line endings
When you press the Carriage Return key what do you expect to happen? Most
people think a computer keyboard should work like a typewriter, with a
Carriage Return starting a new line as well.
But computer programs don’t have to stick to that analogy. Some programs
(particularly graphics packages) want a Carriage Return to just move the
print position back to the left edge of the page. And they want a Line Feed
to move down to a new line without going back to the beginning of the line.
So you can specify exactly how you want <CR>, <LF> and cFF> to work
with this command:
<ESC> &k n G
For n enter one of the numbers from this table:
n
AUTOMATIC COMMAND
0 (zero) <CR>, <LF> and <FF> work according to their basic
definitions,
1 (one) <CR> will also generate a <LD (but <LF> and <FD stay
the same),
2
cLF> or <FF> will produce a <CR> too (<CR> by itself
won’t change),
