Tally Genicom Matrix Printer Implementing the Line Feed Function

Implementing the Line Feed Function - 0o

A good technique is to exit oversized with ESC [0t and se nd a vertical and horizontal position

absolute command:

ESC [(Pv);(Ph)f

where (Pv) is decipoints from the top print reference and ( Ph) is decipoints from the left print

reference. The logic seeking of the printer minimizes red undant paper motion associated with

position-absolute commands. You could also use vertic al position-relative to implement line

feeds.

Try a line feed increment of 1.2 decipoints times the vertical expansion

factor.

If you send a line feed character while in oversized, then pa per advances five dot rows for the 0o

rotation.
