Often abbreviated
LF, a line feed is a code that moves the
cursor on a
display screen down one line. In the
ASCII character set, a line feed has a
decimal value of 10.
On printers, a line feed advances the paper one line. Some printers have a button labeled LF that executes a line feed when pressed. (Note, however, that the printer must be in off-line mode to execute a line feed.)
