(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)o must satisfy the condition: 1 s (n)b Z 85 (Decimal).

“n”- 1 is equivalent to 1/72 inch paper advancement. Since the distance bet- ween any two dot wires of the print head is 1/72 inch, any line spacing in incre- ments 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. How- ever, once the code is input, the specified amount of line spacing will remain unchanged until a code for new line spacing is set.

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

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 - (0011000)2), actual output to the Printer is performed as<lB>~ <41>~ <18>~inhexadecimalcodes.

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

*Example: Input from the keyboard of the TRS-80 personal computer. [LPRINT CHR$ (27); CHR$ (65); CHR$ (24)]
