LF [Function] Printing and paper feed [Code] <0A>H [Outline] Prints data inside the print buffer and feeds paper based on the line feed amount having been set. [Caution] The head of the line becomes the next print starting position. [See Also] ESC 2, ESC 3 [Sample Program] LPRINT “AAA” + CHR$(&HA) ; LPRINT “BBB” + CHR$(&HA) ; LPRINT CHR$(&HA) ; LPRINT “CCC” + CHR$(&HA) ; END [Print Results] AAA ← Print and line feed BBB ← Print and line feed ← Line feed only CCC ← Print and line feed — 6
