ASCII Code ESC 3

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 (hex 01 through hex FF)
Comment When the
n
/216-inch line spacing control code is received, all
linefe eds 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.

are based on the current cpi. They have a range of 1 through

is ignored.
