The important fact about the linedepth is that when you change it you are
changing the actual meaning of a“line”. When you increasethe line depth
youeffectively decrease the number of lines per inch, and increase the page
length.
The command you send to setthe line depth looks like this:
<ESC> &t’nC
(notethat the character after the “&” is alower-case“L”) in which for nyou
canenter anumber from Oto 336. If nis zero, lines will be printed on top of
each other, and if 336,they will be printed 7inches apart.
4.4.6 Movjng the PRINT posjtjon horizontally
You can use three different units to move the print position horizontally:
columns (space-widths), dots(each l/300th of an inch), or tenths of apoint
(decipoints).Both columns and decipoints can be fractions to two decimal
places,such as45.75 decipoints—whichprovides agreatdegree ofaccuracy
for graphics applications.
Moreover, foreach of these you can move the print position horizontally in
two ways. You can move ah.wlurelyfrom the leftedge of the page. Or you
canmove relatively, away from the current print position.To show youwant
to move away from the current print position, you put aplus (+) or minus
(–) sign before the number of unitsyou want to move.
Ifyou send acommand that would put the print position outside either side
margin, the LaserPrinter 4111willlet you do just that. However, you can’t
sendthe printpositionfurther thanits printablelimitsat theedges ofthepage.
4.4.7 Horizontal moves: by columns, decjpojnts
and dots
To move the print position horizontally anumber of columns, send the
command:
<ESC> &a nC
inwhich for nyou enter the number of columns you wish to move the print
position,
