English term or phrase: the CR is OK

"The Telnet client sends 'nwk' followed by a Carriage Return (CR; adding a Line Feed after the CR is OK)."

...CR is carriage return as the sentence says, but what does it mean that it is OK?
Would the meaning of the sentence be any different if it were "after the CR)." (leaving out the "is OK" part?)

thanks!

the cr is ok It is OK to add a LF after the CR

Explanation:
Depending on the convention, "go to the beginning of the next line" can be just a CR or a CR followind by a line feed (typically written CRLF). This is saying that you may add a line feed character after the CR and it will be fine.

Historically, CR means "retyrn the carriage", i.e., go to the beginning of the line, and LF means go to the next line. (Think typewriters.)

Explanation:
Just a guess, but the line feed has to be added in the process AFTER THE CR INPUT HAS BEEN RECEIVED AND ACCEPTED by the system... so I would not leave the OK part out of the wording.
