where : n = 1 to 85 (all others are ignored)
Comment : When the ESC A control sequence is received, all line feed commands followĆ
ing an ESC 2 sequence* will be at n/72-inch line spacing until a new line spacĆ
ing is selected or power is reset. The control code line spacing selection will
override the control panel line spacing setting and the message display will
reflect the line spacing in lines per inch. For the 20/72-inch example below,
the message display would reflect 3.6 lpi spacing.
*The ESC 2 sequence indicates that the current line spacing is that which was
set by the previous ESC A sequence.
Example : The following example illustrates 20/72-inch line spacing.
