Line Spacing 7/72 Inch
125
Line Spacing 7/72 Inch
ASCII Code ESC 1
Hex Code 1B 31
Dec Code 27 49
Purpose Sets the line spacing to 7/72 inch (10.3 lpi) for subsequent line
feeds.
Discussion All lines are printed at the 7/72-inch line spacing until a new line
spacing is selected or the printer is reset. This control code
overrides line spacing set at the control panel.
Printing speed is reduced if printed lines overlap.
Example The following example illustrates 7/72-inch line spacing.
Line Spacing n /216 Inch
ASCII Code ESC 3 n
Hex Code 1B 33 n
Dec Code 27 51 n
Purpose Specifies the line spacing at n /216-inch increments.
where
n = 1 through 255 (hex 01 through hex FF).
Discussion All line feeds following receipt of this code are at
n /216 inch line
spacing until a new line spacing is selected or the printer is
reset. Line spacing set by this control code overrides line
spacing setting set at the control panel.
The vertical character position moves only in multiples of the
current dot row spacing. If the distance to move is other than a
multiple of the current dot row spacing, the remainder is added
to the next paper motion command.
Paper movement occurs in multiples of 3/216 only.
Use caution when combining this control code with other print
attributes such as Elongated (Double High), Superscript, or
Subscript; overlapping lines may occur. Print speed is reduced if
lines overlap.
Example The following example illustrates
n /216-inch line spacing.
