Chapter 5 Configuring the Proprinter III XL Emulation with Control Codes

Line Spacing 1/8 Inch (8 lpi)

ASCII Code ESC 0

ESC A n

Hex Code

1B 30

 

Dec Code

27 48

 

Purpose

Specifies continuous line spacing at 1/8-inch increments (8 lpi).

Comment

The value of n should be 9 if using ESC A n.

 

When the 1/8-inch line spacing control code is received, all lines

 

are printed at 8 lpi 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.

Example

The following example illustrates 1/8-inch line spacing.

Line Spacing 7/72 Inch (10.3 lpi)

ASCII Code ESC 1

Hex Code

1B 31

Dec Code

27 49

Purpose

Specifies the line spacing at 7/72-inch (10.3 lpi) increments.

Comment

When the 7/72-inch line spacing control code is received, all

 

lines are printed at the 7/72-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, and the message display reflects the line spacing as

 

10.3 lines per inch.

 

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 7/72-inch line spacing.
