How to Send a Carriage Return to Printer
Keywords: CR carriage return line feed
Question:
I want to send a carriage return to my printer. How do I do that?
Answer:
- Create a file with a hex editor, or an editor that can save line
endings as a CR character (rather than CR/LF). Put in the CR,
and save the file.
- Now send the file to the printer port with the FileCopy function.
You could do something similar if you wanted to copy a formfeed to the printer.
Again, create a file with the Formfeed character (ASCII 12) in it, and send it to the
printer port.
