Printek FormsPro 4000se Series Horizontal Position, Set Line Spacing to 7/72”, Start Line Spacing

IBM Proprinter Emulation

Set Line Spacing to 7/72” ESC 1

Sets the line spacing to 7/72 of an inch per line. Since the distance between print head wires is 1/72 of an inch, this is equivalent to setting seven wire spacing. This is not particularly useful for text, but may be useful for graphics if 7-bit graphics data is being sent. Overrides the “Lines/Inch” value in the forms menu.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	1
Hexadecimal:	1B	31
Start Line Spacing		ESC 2

Sets the line spacing to the value selected by ESC A n. Overrides the “Lines/Inch” value in the forms menu.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	2
Hexadecimal:	1B	32
Set Line Spacing to n/216”		ESC 3 n

Sets the line spacing to n/216 of an inch per line. 0³n³255. Overrides the “Lines/Inch” value in the forms menu.

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. 0³n³255. 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
