without moving the printhead back to the left margin. The fol- lowing commands do just that.
The < ESC > “J” CHR$(n) command causes the printer to make one line feed of n/144 inch (STAR mode), or n/216 inch
(IBM mode), but does not change the setting of the line spacing.- Try this program to see how it works:
-
10 'Demo
20 LPRINT "Line number 1."
30 LPRINT "Line number 2.” ;
441 'One time line feed.
50 LPRINT CHR$(27) "J" CHR$(l 00) ; 60 LPRINT "Line number 3."
70 LPRINT "Line number 4."

The < ESC > “J” CHR$( 100) in line 50 changes the spacing |
|
| ||||
to lOO/144 inches (100/216 inches for IBM mode) for one line |
|
| ||||
only without moving the printhead. The rest of the lines printed |
|
| ||||
with the normal line spacing. Notice that both line 30 and line |
|
| ||||
50 end with semicolons. This prevents | the normal line feed from | - | - | |||
occuring. |
|
|
|
| ||
The < ESC > “a” CHR$(n) command advances the paper n |
| |||||
|
| |||||
lines (using whatever the current line spacing is) without moving |
| - | ||||
the printhead. Change line 40 and 50 of your program so that |
| |||||
|
| |||||
they | are like this. |
|
|
| ||
|
|
|
|
|
| |
44) 'Advance | paper 3 lines. |
|

50 LPRINT CHR$(27) "a" CHRS(3) | ; |

Now when you run the program the resultswilllook likethis. |
