Purpose

Stores a line spacing of n/72–inch increments.

 

where

n = 1 to 85 (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 power 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. For the 20/72–inch example below, the message display would reflect 3.6

 

lpi spacing.

 

 

 

*The SFCC/ESC 2 sequence (page 6–47) asserts the line spacing which was stored

 

by the preceding SFCC/ESC A sequence.

 

 

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 char-

 

acters are used on the same line. Printing at different horizontal and vertical densi-

 

ties does not cause overlapping.

 

Example

The following example illustrates 20/72–inch line spacing.
