You may wonder why they picked l/72 of an inch as the in- |
| ||
crement for the line spacing command. There’s a good reason: |
| ||
the dots that the printer makes are l/72 inch apart. So this means |
| ||
that you can vary the line spacing in increments as tine as one |
| ||
one half dot spacing | - | ||
(STAR mode) or one third dot spacing (IBM mode). |
| ||
The | < ESC > “3” CHR$(n) command | sets the line spacing in | - |
increments of 1/144inch (STARmode) or l/216 inch(IMBmode). |
| ||
Change line 30 in your program so it is like this: |
| ||
30 LPRINT CHR$(27) “3” CHR$(I); |
| - | |
|
|
| |
and run the program again. Now the results will look like this: |

(STAR | mode) |
