EXPLANATIONS
------------

ADD LINE FEED AFTER CARRIAGE RETURN is used when the device sending data to the printer is not already sending a carriage return after every line of data (check application software on computer or interface PCB DIP switch positions). If the device is already sending a carriage return after every line, setting this switch will cause the ImageWriter to generate a line feed, resulting in two carriage returns after every line.
