NOTE: The actual resolution of the printer's paper stepper motor is 1/288 of an inch. When spacing is
specified in 1/216 of an inch, the printer will actually move paper to the nearest 1/288 of an inch.
Example: The following escape sequence will set line spacing to one half inch.
Escape Sequence: ESC 3 108
Hexadecimal: 1B 33 6C
Set Line Spacing to n/72” ESC A n
Sets the line spacing to n/72 of an inch per line. 0≥n≥255. Since the distance between print head wires
is 1/72 of an inch, this is equivalent to setting n wire spacing. This spacing is stored but does not take
effect until ESC 2 is received. Overrides the “Lines/Inch” value in the forms menu.
Example: The following escape sequence will set line spacing to 8/72 of an inch, for use with eight
wire graphics.
Escape Sequence: ESC A 8
Hexadecimal: 1B 41 08

Carriage Return CR
