The remainder of the line is printed starting in the first printable position.
Overstriking can be used to make boldface text by printing the same line twice without advancing the paper.
Mainframe printers originally had a carriage control tape, with 12 channels (1–9, A, B, C) that can be assigned a fixed position on the page by punching a hole, allowing the printer to skip a variable distance down the page to a fixed location.
ASA carriage control characters are still used for printer output from mainframe applications and software today.
They are interpreted by drivers and other software before being printed on modern printers.
