-
- In general, when printing from BASIC, or from any program that uses
- either the Pascal or Basic entry points in the firmware, and doesn't
- change the settings itself.
-
- There is a note in the firmware manual which says that the Pascal
- firmware always assumes the application will supply line feeds, so it
- ignores the control panel setting for 'Add LF after CR'. You can
- re-enable the auto line feed feature by sending the three character
- sequence: Control-I 'L' 'E' before writing any further text (assuming
- the GS/OS driver hasn't disabled command recognition).
-
- Note: the Control-I character is only valid if the port is set to
- 'Printer' mode. If it is set to 'Modem' mode, use Control-A instead.
