Line Spacing n/216 Inch

Line Spacing n/216 Inch

ASCII Code ESC 3 n

Hex Code

1B 33 n

Dec Code

27 51 n

Purpose

Specifies the line spacing at n/216-inch increments.

where:

n = 1 through 255

Comment

When the n/216-inch line spacing control code is received, all

 

line feeds following are at n/216-inch line spacing until a new line

 

spacing is selected or the printer is reset. The control code line

 

spacing selection overrides the control panel line spacing

 

setting.

 

The vertical character position moves only in multiples of the

 

current dot row spacing. If the distance to move is other than a

 

multiple of the current dot row spacing, the remainder is added

 

to the next paper motion command.

 

Caution should be used when combining this control code with

 

other print attributes such as Elongated (Double High),

 

Superscript, or Subscript; overlapping lines may occur. Printing

 

at different horizontal and vertical densities do not overlap.

Example

The following example illustrates n/216-inch line spacing.

Overscoring

ASCII Code ESC _ n

Hex Code

1B 5F n

Purpose

Enables or disables automatic overscoring of all characters.

where:

n = 0 to disable automatic overscoring (hex 00 or hex 30)

 

n = 1 to enable automatic overscoring (hex 01 or hex 31)

Comment

When automatic overscore is enabled, all characters, including

 

spaces, are overscored until disabled.

Example

The following sample illustrates automatic overscoring and

 

overscoring reset.
