Line Spacing n/72 Inch

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 dif
ferent horizontal and vertical densi
-
ties
does not cause overlapping.
Example The following example illustrates 20/72–inch line spacing.
