You send the Carriage Return (13) first, so that the print
carriage has more time to move. The Line Feed (10) is sent
second, because the rotation of the print roller one line
is typically shorter, and takes less time. The two actions
happen asynchronously, so you start the carriage return,
do the line feed, then wait for the carriage return to end.
Note that this is different from a standard mechanical
typewriter: on a standard mechanical typewriter, the Carriage
Return lever actuates a line feed first (normally a single
line feed, but there is a mechanical adjustment to get it
do double line feeds), and then goes into Carriage Return
mode if you push it further.
