Carriage Return Code (3EH)
SYMBOL
DESCRIPTION
C5 to C0
If bits <9-4> hold 3EH, then this is the Carriage Return Code. The current display line is terminated
(a transparent pattern appears on the screen) and the next character will be displayed at the beginning of
the next line.
Bits <3-2> select the size of the of the character to be displayed on the next line; see Table 14.
Bits <1-0> determine the spacing between lines of displayed characters. Spacing is a multiple of the
number of horizontal scan lines. In order to prevent vertical jumping of the display, the first line should be
a non-displayed line i.e. the Carriage Return Code.
The line spacing for this code must not be zero; see Table 15.

Space Code (3FH)
Background colour
SYMBOL
DESCRIPTION
C5 to C0
If bits <9-4> hold 3FH, then this is the Space Code. A transparent pattern, equal to one character width,
will be displayed on the screen.
Bits <3-1> determine the background colour of the characters including the Space Code in Box
shadowing mode but following the Space Code in North-west shadowing mode. See Section 12.4 for
more details. Background colour selection is the same as Foreground colour selection; see Table 11.
Bit <0> is the End-of-Display bit and indicates the end of display of the current screen before exhaustion
of display RAM. The last character displayed on the TV screen is either the 64
th
RAM location or a Space
Code with the End-of-display attribute set to logic 1.
When T0 = 0; continue display of next character.
When T0 = 1; end of display.
