Purpose

Specifies the line spacing at n/216–inch increments.

 

where

n = 1 to 255

 

 

Comment

When the n/216–inch line spacing control code is received, all line feeds following

 

are at n/216–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 spac-

 

ing setting and the message display reflects the line spacing in lines per inch. For a

 

50/216–inch line spacing, the message display would reflect 4.3 lpi spacing.

 

The paper 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.

 

 

Use caution when combining this control code with other print attributes such as

 

Elongated (Double High), Superscript, or Subscript; overlapping lines may occur.

 

Printing at different horizontal and vertical densities does not cause overlapping.
