Table 3 lists the maximum number of characters that can be printed for a given
Characters Per Inch (CPI) setting.
IMPORTANT: If the form width is set in characters and the CPI is changed, the
effective page width is changed to be equal to the form width in
characters divided by the new CPI.

Define CR Code
The Define CR Code option controls the action of the printer when it receives a
Carriage Return code (X'0D') from the host computer. If this feature is enabled,
each time the printer receives a carriage return, it inserts an additional Line Feed
code (X'0A') into the data stream. Do not use this feature if the host computer
sends line feeds to the printer.
v CR = CR (the default). No extra line feeds are inserted.
v CR = CR + LF. Inserts an extra line feed after each carriage return.
Auto LF
Defines the printer actions when print data is received past the form width setting.
v Disable (the default). Discards any data past the form width.
v Enable. Performs an automatic carriage return and line feed when data is
received past the form width.
