Line Spacing n /72 Inch (Storage)
ASCII Code ESC A n
Hex Code 1B 41 n
Dec Code 27 65 n
Purpose Stores a line spacing of n /72-inch increments.
where
n = 1 through 255 (hex 01 through hex FF).
All others values are ignored.
Discussion This control code stores a value for line spacing of
n /72 inch.
The ESC 2 control code (described on page 83) executes the
line spacing stored by the preceding ESC A, until a new line
spacing is selected or the printer is reset. A control code line
spacing overrides a control panel line spacing setting. (The
control panel display shows line spacing in lines per inch.)
Small values of
n may result in overlapping lines. Overlapping
lines may also occur if print attributes such as Elongated
(Double High), Superscript, or Subscript characters are used on
the same line. Common values of
n are listed in Table 20.
Example The following example illustrates 20/72-inch line spacing.
