(4)ESC A + n (for setting amount of line spacing)

This code

specifies

the amount of line

spacing in the Line Feed, provided that

( n )D must

satisfy the

condition:

(Decimal).

“n ” = 1 is equivalent to 1/72 inch paper advancement. Since the distance between any two dot wires of the print head is 1/72 inch, any line spacing in increments proportional to the distance between the dot wires can be established.

NOTES: 1. When the POWER switch is turned on or INIT signal is applied to the pin No. 31 of the interface connector, the line spacing is set at either 1/8 inch or 1/6 inch according to the ON/OFF position of the DIP switch pin 1-1 on the control circuit board.

2.The ESC A + n code may be input at any position on a line. However, once the code is input, the specified amount of line spacing will remain un- changed until a code for new line spacing is set.

(Example) To specify the amount of line spacing at 7/72 inches.

[PRINT)

NOTE: <How to input “n”>

When “n” is actually transferred to the Printer as data, it is transferred in the form of a 7-bit binary number.

In case of “ESC A + 24” to specify the amount of line spacing at 24/72 = 1/3 inch (24 = (00011OOO)2), actual output to the Printer is performed as <1B> H <41> H <18> H in hexadecimal code.

Keep in mind that the method of input from the keyboard of a host computer is different, for which refer to the specifications of your host computer.

•Example: Input from the keyboard of the TRS-80 personal computer.
