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 = 0 through 255

Comment

All line feeds following receipt of this code are at n/216 inch line

 

spacing until a new line spacing is selected or the printer is

 

reset. Line spacing set by this control code overrides line

 

spacing setting set at the operator panel.

 

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. Paper movement occurs in

 

multiples of 3/216 only.

 

Use caution when combining this control code with other print

 

attributes such as Elongated (Double High), Superscript, or

 

Subscript; overlapping lines may occur.
