Purpose Stores a line spacing of
n
/72-inchincrements.
where:
n
=1 through 85 (hex 01 through hex 55, all others are ignored)
Comment When the ESC A control sequence is received, all line feed
commands following an ESC 2 sequence* are at
n
/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 in lines per inch.
Small values of
n
may result in overlapping lines. Overlapping
lines may also occur if print attributes such as Elongated
(Double High), Superscript, or Subscript characters are used on
the same line. Printing at different horizontal and vertical
densities do not overlap.
Example The following example illustrates 35/72-inch line spacing.
* The ESC 2 sequence (page 132) asserts the line spacing that
was stored by the preceding ESC A sequence.
