FOLLOWING A NON-PRINTABLE LINE ENDING IN LF
A new line must be at least 75 mit"liseconds long including the platen moving code at the end if it follows a line
which has
!!2
printable characters and ends in LF.

CONSECUTIVE LINE FEEDS
A line feed immediately following a line feed at the end of a line which has one or more printable characters must
follow the rule given above for "Following a Printable Line Ending in LF
11
•
Thus fHI characters must be added before
the new line feed to make that line 300 milliseconds long. Refer to Example two, Lines 1 and 2.
A line feed immediately following a line feed at the end of a line which has no printable characters must follow the
rule given above for

Following a Non-Printable Line Ending in LF". Thus
fiii

FOLLOWING A PRINTABLE LINE ENDING IN VT OR FF
Of interest here is the time interval of 300 milliseconds plus 27 milliseconds per line of form movement immediately
following a VT or FF code at the end of a line including at least one printable character. A platen moving code (LF,
VT, or FF) during this time interval must be the last character in the time interval. The time interval may include no
more than 36 printable characters. (This restriction is 36 printable characters at all baud rates.) The remainder of the
time may be taken up by time delay or fill characters.
