execute a single line feed
of
0.12
mm
(1

inch)
up
to
29.98
mm
(255/216 inch)
use
this command:

Note: For both these
commands
in Epson Mode n = 0-255
The last
code
equals a
number
between
1
and
255. This line spacing
activates automatically
when
the
printer
receives this
command.
For mechanical reasons, the ML3410 advances
paper
in multiples
of
1/144
inch,
not
in multiples of1
/216
inch, which is the
standard
for IBM printers.
To
increase
IBM
compatibility,
the
printer
multiplies
the
variable value
(01
to 255) in
your
statement
by
2/3
to
approximate
1/216
inch. Because
of
rounding
off,
you
may
sometimes notice lines
per
inch varies slightly from
your
specified
statement. For
more
precise
spacing
set
your
lines
per
inch in
multiples
of
1/72
inch
wherever
possible.
Automatic skip-over perforation
With this feature
you
can specify
where
the
printer
will
skip
from
the
bottom
of
one
page
to the top
of
form of
the
next page.
The
printer
automatically skips
over
the
perforation
between
pages
of
computer
paper,
and
starts printing again
at
the
next
top
of
form.
This feature can
be
used
in a software
program,
eliminating the
need
for inserting the
programming
command
for form feed
(FF)
after every
page
in
your
program. After the automatic
skipping
distance is set,
you
can
print
a
program
several
pages
long
without
worrying
about
the
pages
running
together.
Before you
set
the automatic
skip
it is a
good
idea
to
set
the
form
length
and
top
of
form.
Although
you
can select automatic skip-over perforation
of
one
inch (bottom
and
top
margins)
in
the
Menu
Select Mode,
with
the
following
command
you
can
vary
the distance skipped:
