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 one-time line feeds.

20 LPRINT "Line number 1."

30 LPRINT "Line number 2.” ;

40'One time line feed.

50 LPRINT CHR$(27) "J" CHR$(lQ)@) ; 64)LPRINT "Line number 3."

79)LPRINT "Line number 4."

Here is what SG-lo/15 will produce:

Line number 1.

Line number 2.

 

 

L.ine number

The < ESC > “J” CHR$(lOO) in line 50 changes the spacing

 

-

 

 

to lOO/144 inches

(100/2 16 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 .+ne 40 and 50 of your program so that

 

 

they

are like this.

 

 

 

 

40 'Advance paper 3 lines.

 

 

-

50 LPRINT CHR$(27) "a" CHR$(3)

;

Now when you run theprogram the resultswilllook likethis.
