Star Micronics NP-IO manual Lprint Line Number

30 LPRINT "LINE NUMBER 2.";

40 ' One-time line feed

50 LPRINT CHR$(27);"J";CHR$(lOO);

60 LPRINT "LINE NUMBER 3."

70 LPRINT "LINE NUMBER 4."

80 END

Here is what your printer will produce:

The (ESC) “J” CHR$(lOO) in line 50 changes the spacing to 100/216 inches for one line only without moving the printhead. The rest of the lines printed with the normal line spacing. Notice that both line 30 and line 50 end with semicolons. This prevents the normal line feed from occurring.

The (ESC) “j” CHR$( n ) command works the same way ex- cept that the paper moves in the opposite direction. Try this sim- ple change to your program to see the difference.
