Purpose
Prints the data in the buffer (if any) and advances the vertical
character position a distance of one line at the current line
spacing.
character position a distance of one line at the current line
spacing.
Comment
The logical print head keeps the same distance from the margin.
The current line is printed and the logical printhead moves down
a distance equal to the current line spacing. If there are no dots,
paper moves and no printing occurs. When possible, successive
line feeds are accumulated and moved at once.

Comment
n = 0 is ignored. Paper movement occurs in multiples of 3/216

not affect line spacing or produce a carriage return. Any one-

lines may also occur if print attributes such as double high,
