nADJUSTING LINE SPACING

Just as your word processor will set the margins, it will also set the line spacing (or distance between lines of print) without requiring a special command. When you turn on the printer, it will automatically print with a line spacing of 1/6th inch, which isthe.American standard. This means that you will get six lines to an inch, and 66 lines on an 11-inch page.

If you wish to change the line spacing, you can do it either through DIP switch l-3, or by sending a code. First let’s see how the line spacing changes when you turn off DIP switch 1-3.
