As Figure 5-l shows, when you print with DIP switch l-3 in the off position, your line spacing will be 1/8th inch, the European standard. This setting will yield 8 lines per inch, or 88 lines on an 1l-inch form. Of course, you are by no means limited to these two settings-by entering codes you can have complete control of the line spacing function. In fact, you can adjust line spacing to 1/60th or i/l20th of an inch by sending the proper codes included in Table 5-3. (For ‘In”, just select any value between 0 and 255.) Also shown are the codes for l/Gth-inch, 1/8th-inch, and l/lOth-inch (no space between lines) line spacing.

nSUPERSCRIPTS AND SUBSCRIPTS

The installation program of your word processing package will ask you to enter the value you wish (in increments of 1/120th of an inch) for printing superscripts and subscripts within text. You may also send codes to the printer to perform the same function (Table

5-4). When you choose the code to “select superscript” or “select subscript,” the printer will print all subsequent characters at the super- and subscript level until you send the proper code to cancel this feature.
