Question:

What is meant by “CR Pass” in the PCSDs of the PRDs?

Response:

“CR pass” stands for “carriage return pass” and means that the printer types all the characters on the line, then returns to the beginning of the line in order to do the special printing. For example, with underlining, a CR pass means that all the letters on the line are typed, then the printhead goes back to the beginning of the line and prints out the underline character under those letters that should be underlined.

“CR pass with backspace correction” for underlining means that the printhead goes back to the beginning of the line, and then microspacing and backspacing are used so that the underline can start and stop at the correct spot.
