PTR Page Formatter Dialog Box

Newline

Select from the following to determine how the PTR Page Formatter service library handles new line sequences, such as carriage returns and line feeds.

Passthru Printing

All margin, header, and footer formatting is disabled. Use this option if the host sends the formatting for the printer.

 

CR Advances Paper

When a carriage return is found, the printer advances the paper in addition to moving the print head to the beginning of the next line.

 

LF Returns Carriage

When a line feed is found, the printer moves the print head to the beginning of the next line in addition to advancing the page.

 

Independent CR and LF

If only a carriage return is found, the printer moves the print head to the beginning of the line, but the page is not advanced. If only a line feed is found, the printer advances the paper, but the print head remains in its current column position.
