IBM 4610-TM6 - SureMark Printer TM6 Two-color Thermal Transfer, User Manual

Page: 159 / 244

Note: Spacing in the document-portrait is actually 6.375 lines per inch. Line
spacing dimension is approximate. For the impact printer in portrait
mode, the actual line spacing must be calculated using 51 steps per
inch.
In the impact (document - landscape) station this would be set to 21
steps/line.
This command should be sent after “Set print station parameters” on page
136.

This command is only valid if the Enable Color Printing command (see
“Select thermal paper” on page 147) is sent first.
v
When color paper is enabled, depending on the paper, the printer might
be limited to printing at 15 lps when printing 8 lpi.
