See, for example, http://www.nsc.liu.se/~boein/f77to90/asa.html:

ASA Carriage Control Characters

The first character in each record (line) of formatted output defines a carriage control character to the lineprinter, often called ASA-character, for a previous name of the US Standardization Organization ANSI. These have the following meanings

        blank     New line
        +         Not new line (overwriting, 
                  not available on all printers)
        0         Double line feed
        1         New page

That doesn't look like a "1", it is a "1". You need to strip the first character off from each line and use it to determine what type of CR and/or LF you should put before/after that record.
